🔥🏟️BREAKING NEWS: Huge news has been announced this evening on Antony’s departure from Manchester United.

Manchester United are reportedly considering allowing winger Antony to leave the club on loan in the January transfer window, with the potential for a permanent deal next summer. The 24-year-old Brazilian, who joined United for a staggering fee of up to £86 million, has struggled to make a significant impact since his arrival and has fallen down the pecking order under manager Erik ten Hag.

 

Antony was brought to Old Trafford with high expectations, having previously worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, where the manager played a key role in the pursuit of the player. Although the decision to sign Antony wasn’t solely Ten Hag’s, United’s management eventually reached an agreement with Ajax for a deal that included £82 million in guaranteed payments, making Antony the club’s second-most expensive signing ever. This came despite the fact that the club’s scouts had initially valued him at around £25 million during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure, and United had earlier indicated they would not pay more than £60 million for him.

 

However, Antony’s performances have failed to justify the hefty price tag, and he has found himself behind the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo in the competition for wide positions this season. The departures of Jadon Sancho, Omari Forson, and Facundo Pellistri have not significantly improved his chances of getting more playing time. So far, he has managed just 139 minutes of game time across all competitions, with his only start coming in the Carabao Cup match against Barnsley.
