Manchester United are reportedly ready to entertain offers to part ways with Antony after sacking Erik ten Hag as the first-team boss.
According to a report by talkSPORT, Antony faces an uncertain future at Manchester United after the departure of Erik ten Hag. The Premier League heavyweights have parted with Erik ten Hag this week after a dreadful start to the 2024/25 season. The Red Devils are also ready to cut their losses on the former Ajax winger after wasting a lot of money on him.
Antony and his frustrating Manchester United stint
Antony has blown hot and cold since joining Manchester United from Ajax in August 2022. The South American attacker was one of the first signings of the Erik ten Hag era, and the Dutch tactician kept faith in him for most of his spell at Old Trafford.
However, the 24-year-old attacker’s output left a lot to be desired, and he has struggled for goals since the start of the 2022/23 season. While the player has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Manchester United, he has managed only 12 goals and five assists thus far while picking up more bookings than goals.
So, it is hardly surprising that Manchester United have been mulling over cashing in on Antony’s services in the January transfer window. In addition, recent reports have claimed that Manchester United might sanction a loan exit in the January transfer window to preserve his value before cashing in on him in the 2025 summer transfer window.
What next?
While Manchester United have told Antony he is free to leave, a deal will not see the light of day unless he can have multiple suitors chasing his signature in the January transfer window. Recent reports have linked the South American attacker with Inter Milan and Chelsea.
However, those links appear preposterous, and neither move will likely see the light of day in the January transfer window. A transfer that can materialise is a dream return to Ajax, with recent reports claiming the Manchester United flop is open to returning to the Eredivisie club.
Whatever happens in the coming weeks, Manchester United will be eager to cut their losses on Antony after their investment of £86 million did not yield the desired results. It will be interesting to see where the 24-year-old Brazilian international lands next year.
