<p>Before Antony swapped Ajax for United in August 2022 for £85 million ($105m), the winger was fined several times by the Dutch giants for reportedly skipping a few training sessions and an Eredivisie match as he sought to push through the transfer. Now, <a href="https://www.ad.nl/voetbal/ajax-legde-antony-tonnen-aan-boetes-op-oud-speler-eist-geld-terug-via-arbitragezaak~aa4f61ba/" target="_blank"><em>Algemeen Dagblad</em></a> reports the 24-year-old has filed an arbitration case, with both parties facing off in court earlier in January.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds Ajax withheld hundreds of thousands of euros from Antony's salary while they pushed for a bigger transfer fee but now the Brazil international wants it back because he allegedly believes the fines were imposed unlawfully. According to <em>AD</em>, this dispute has been going on for two years as Antony - who was not happy with how Ajax treated him at the time - still hasn't paid those fines. Fast forward to the present, and the Brazilian is regarded as one of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/shameless-antony-everything-wrong-man-utd-brazilian-flop-go-summer-transfer-window/blt1d4f6a8f6e1cb964" target="_blank">United's worst-ever signings</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Since moving to Old Trafford, Antony has scored just 12 goals and bagged five assists in 94 appearances. The club are looking to offload him this month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-antony-agent-january-transfer-plans/blt29f3b2bf47805e3c" target="_blank">either on loan or permanently</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Antony and his legal team wait to find out what will happen over this fining matter, he will hope to feature for United away to Arsenal in round three of the FA Cup on Sunday.</p>
