Manchester United wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho have been linked with moves away from the club in recent months.
Manchester United paid a substantial amount of money to sign Antony and Jadon Sancho. But they have been underwhelming additions for the Premier League club. A report from Evening Standard has claimed that the Red Devils have now offered both players to Saudi clubs in a bid to cut their losses.
It appears that the Premier League club are now prepared to sell both players for £50 million each. Manchester United paid around £155 million on the two wingers, and they are now ready to accept a heavy loss on their investment.
Antony and Jadon Sancho: Flattering to Deceive
Antony has been very disappointing since his move from Ajax, and he has not been able to adapt to Premier League football yet. On the other hand, Jadon Sancho fell out of favour with the Manchester United manager, and he has returned to his former club Borussia Dortmund on loan.
Both players were highly rated before the moves to Manchester United, and it remains to be seen whether they can get their career back on track. Meanwhile, the Red Devils also recently offered Antony to Real Madrid, who rejected the proposal. A move to Saudi Arabia might now be on the cards.
Saudi Arabian clubs certainly have the financial muscle to sign the two players, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. It is unlikely that any permanent move will be sealed this month, and the summer transfer window should provide more clarity regarding the future of the two wingers.
Saudi Arabia Calling?
There is no doubt that Sancho and Antony could prove to be quality players for Saudi clubs. But they need a fresh start to regain their form and confidence. Leaving Manchester United would be ideal for all parties. The Red Devils should look to cut their losses on the two players and invest in attackers who can help them improve next season.
Manchester United need to add more quality and depth in the wide areas, and they should look to invest in a quality striker as well. Meanwhile, Antony and Sancho are not the only Manchester United players linked with moves to Saudi Arabia.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro are reportedly targets for Saudi Pro League clubs as well. It seems that a major summer exodus could be on the cards at Old Trafford at the end of the season.
