Both Antony and Martinez are said to want a move to Old Trafford this summer. However, Ajax will not make it easy for the Red Devils, while Arsenal are also in the race for Martinez.
United boss Erik ten Hag knows both players well having managed them during his time at Ajax. And he is keen to make them his next two signings after the arrival of left-back Tyrell Malacia earlier this week.
Ten Hag signed Martinez for Ajax from Argentinean side Defensa y Justicia in 2019 and he has already made 120 appearances for the club. The 23-year-old can play in central defence, at left-back and also in defensive midfield.
Winger Antony arrived from Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo a year later and has been a regular starter since. He missed the back end of last season due to an ankle injury.
Ten Hag clearly has a plan to sign players he knows well this summer. He is also interested in bringing in Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong.
De Jong played under Ten Hag for two seasons before leaving for Barca in 2019. However, United are struggling to agree a fee for the 25-year-old.
