Ruben Amorim is reportedly willing to sanction January loan moves for out-of-favour Manchester United trio Antony, Christian Eriksen, and Marcus Rashford.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Christian Eriksen are poised to depart from Old Trafford in the winter transfer window. The three players are struggling for game time under Ruben Amorim, with the Portuguese tactician ready to sanction January loan moves for the out-of-favour Manchester United trio.
The predicament of Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Christian Eriksen
Marcus Rashford has seen his career come to a grinding halt in the last few weeks. The English international was once among the first names on the team sheet for Manchester United but has been unable to win over Ruben Amorim. The 27-year-old has not been in the matchday squad in recent games, although he was an unused substitute earlier this week against Newcastle United.
As for Antony, the Brazilian international has been a big-money flop for Manchester United since arriving from Ajax in August 2022. The money spent on the former Ajax forward has not been worth it, and he has gradually fallen in the pecking order. The 2024/25 season has been dreadful for the player, who has managed only 356 minutes of game time across 13 appearances thus far.
Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen has been with Manchester United since July 2022, arriving from Brentford in a Bosman move. However, the Danish international has struggled for regular game time since a solid debut season, with age catching up to him. The veteran playmaker has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, managing only 1,054 minutes of action in 17 outings.
What next?
With Antony, Christian Eriksen, and Marcus Rashford struggling for game time, embarking on new adventures in the winter transfer window will make sense. However, Rashford’s wages might pose a problem for his suitors, with recent reports linking him with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
While Rashford has several suitors lining up for his signature, Antony and Eriksen might struggle to attract interested clubs. However, the possibility of landing the duo on loan might entice prospective suitors in the winter transfer window.
Recent reports have linked Antony with Real Betis, while Eriksen is a target for Ajax. However, it will be interesting to see where the out-of-favour Manchester United trio will land in the winter transfer window.
