United are in the market for at least one attacking addition, preferably two. United approached the 20-year-old Brian Brobbey, who played under manager Erik ten Hag on loan at Ajax last season, but the Dutchman left RB Leipzig for Ajax permanently earlier this month.
Ajax have valued Antony at €80million and their coach Alfred Schreuder has said he expects the Brazilian to stay as the Dutch champions have already sold Sebastian Haller, Ryan Gravenberch and Lisandro Martinez.
Two days after Murtough met Basanovic, Ten Hag stressed United needed "more options" in their squad as they are still short of two priority targets. The club's pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has entered a twelfth week.
"We signed [Christian] Eriksen for the midfield department, so we are really happy with that," Ten Hag said. "And yes, I am really happy also with our performances of our midfield department and offensive department at this moment.
"But I also know about this season - we talk about it in Bangkok and Melbourne - it's a lot of games, the World Cup, so we need more options where you have a good team, and it's not only about the team, you need a good squad to get the right results at the end
