Manchester United is reportedly receiving numerous inquiries from several Premier League clubs regarding the potential availability of Antony during the upcoming January transfer window.
Antony’s Struggles Since Joining Manchester United
Antony joined Manchester United from Ajax Amsterdam for a hefty fee of €95 million in 2022, but the 24-year-old has struggled to make a significant impact in the Premier League. Over two seasons at Old Trafford, Antony has only managed to score 11 goals, and this season he has yet to start in either the Premier League or Europa League.
According to Goal Brasil, Manchester United is now considering sending Antony out on loan in the January transfer window to give him a fresh start and an opportunity to regain form.
Premier League Clubs Show Interest
Reports suggest that Antony’s potential availability has sparked interest from several Premier League clubs. His situation has also caught the attention of his former club Ajax, who have had internal discussions about the possibility of bringing him back. However, it remains uncertain if Ajax will follow through with an official bid for the Brazilian winger.
Erik Ten Hag’s Perspective on Antony
Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, recently addressed Antony’s situation, urging the player to keep working hard to rediscover his best form. Ten Hag emphasized that selection decisions are based on team dynamics and performance:
“He is eager to play,” Ten Hag said. “But in top-level football, there are rules. You choose the team that has the best chance of winning, the team with the best dynamics and chemistry. Players have to fight for their place.”
Antony, who has struggled for consistency, is reportedly eager to play more but remains committed to staying in Europe.
What’s Next for Antony?
Antony is currently part of Manchester United’s squad for their Europa League clash against Fenerbahce, but his future at Old Trafford remains uncertain as the January transfer window approaches. A loan move could provide Antony with the chance to secure more game time and rebuild his confidence.
