The 22-year-old has been linked with several top sides this summer.
United have long been considered the main contenders, largely due to the fact that Ten Hag was the one who signed the winger while at Ajax in 2020, and has coached him for the past two years.
United have now reportedly agreed personal terms with Antony but need to splash out around £80million to land him, having had their original bid knocked back.
The Brazil star has agreed to a five-year contract, keeping him at Old Trafford until 2027.
United are also preparing a fresh £80m bid to try and tempt Ajax into selling and expect to seal a transfer this week.
The youngster bagged 12 goals and 10 assists last season as Ajax won the Dutch league title and reached the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Antony has three years left on his current contract, which he signed as part of a £14million move from Sao Paulo two summers ago.
United's current first team wingers, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga, scored just 13 goals in all competitions combined last year.
United are in desperate need of reinforcements in the attacking areas and are short prices to sign Antony and league rival Cody Gakpo from PSV.
