Antony and Martin Dubravka ‘undergo medicals’ ahead of Man United transfers plus more rumours

Ajax winger Antony has undergone a medical and Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is set to complete his on Tuesday ahead of transfers to Manchester United, according to reports.

Antony reported to Carrington on Monday with the Reds braced to complete a €100m (£85m) deal for the Brazilian. Erik ten Hag has been looking to reinforce his attacking options before the end of the window.

United have tracked Antony all summer. The player previously spoke about his relationship with Erik ten Hag during their Ajax days earlier this summer and seemed eager to push for an Old Trafford switch.

The 22-year-old was left out of Ajax’s last two games after missing first-team training. Following reports that a second bid from United had been rejected, he came out to blast his club for not allowing him to leave.

However, a long-term deal is now imminent, with the attacker undergoing his medical on Monday. A Mirror report says delays are expected due to work permits but the transfer will go through before deadline day.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail says Dubravka will undergo his medical ahead of a season-long loan, which contains a £5m option-to-buy clause. Ten Hag has been searching for a back-up to De Gea since Dean Henderson's loan exit to Nottingham Forest.

Elsewhere, Sport reports that United are in talks with Barcelona over a potential swap deal involving right-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Sergino Dest. Ten Hag is hoping to provide competition for Diogo Dalot with Wan-Bissaka considered second fiddle.

Crystal Palace remain interested in facilitating a Selhurst Park return for Wan-Bissaka but United are said to be unwilling to offload the defender without a replacement lined up.
