Man Utd star takes former club to court over actions in days before transfer Antony has taken Ajax to court after claiming they unlawfully fined him before his move to Manchester United.
Antony went on to score on his United debut as they saw off Arsenal at Old Trafford, but that was a rare high point for the Brazilian who is seen as one of the biggest Premier League flops of the modern era with his future at the club now in doubt.
When Antony eventually secured his move to Manchester he noticed that the Dutch club had taken the fine money out of his pay packet.
Greek side Olympiacos and Real Betis of La Liga want to sign Antony on loan during the January transfer window, which could allow him to find his best form elsewhere.
A source claimed the fines totalled “a few hundred thousand euros” with Dutch outlet AD reporting that the Brazilian is citing "unlawful" behaviour as he seeks to get the money back.
