Manchester United wants to sell winger Antony during the January Transfer window to bring in new players and improve their poor season. The 24-year-old Brazilian has not played much since the new manager, Ruben Amorim, took over, and he wants to sell players before buying more.
MANCHESTER UNITED’S SITUATION
The team is struggling in 14th place in the Premier League with only six wins out of 19 games. They need new players to help turn things around, but Amorim has made it clear they need to sell players first, making Antony a likely candidate to leave.
Antony was signed for £86 million from Ajax by the previous manager, Erik ten Hag, but he has only played four times as a substitute in the Premier League since Amorim arrived.
ANTONY IS OPEN TO A MOVE
Reports say that Antony is willing to leave Manchester United this month. The club has offered him to several teams in Europe to reduce their spending and make room for new players. Real Betis is interested and has suggested a loan deal that includes covering part of Antony’s €12 million-a-year salary. Manchester United is willing to help with his wages, and Antony is okay with taking a pay cut to make the move happen.
While he is interested in playing in Spain, he is considering all options before making a decision.
INTEREST FROM OTHER CLUBS
Apart from Real Betis, clubs like Ajax, Juventus, Benfica, and Newcastle United have been contacted about Antony. Ajax and Juventus are open to a loan deal but haven’t made formal offers yet. Newcastle could also be a possible destination, but it’s unclear if they will pursue him.
If Antony leaves, it would help Manchester United have more resources to fix their team, especially in attack.
AMORIM’S PLANS FOR THE TEAM
Since becoming manager, Ruben Amorim has been clear about wanting to change the team. He has pointed out players who are not meeting expectations, and Antony stands out due to his poor performance and high cost.
Although Amorim wants to help struggling players improve, he may not have much patience left with those who are not performing.
A NEW START FOR ANTONY?
Leaving Manchester United could help Antony restart his career. He was good at Ajax under Ten Hag but has not played well at Old Trafford. Moving to a new country, like Spain or Italy, might help him regain his confidence.
For Manchester United, losing Antony would be part of their ongoing effort to rebuild after several disappointing seasons. If they can bring in new players, they might still improve their standing in the league.
As January gets closer, Antony’s future at Manchester United is uncertain. The club wants to sell him to make room for new players, and several European teams, including Real Betis, Ajax, and Newcastle, are interested. With Antony open to moving and willing to take a pay cut, the next few weeks will be important for his future.
Manchester United fans hope that any changes, including Antony’s exit, will lead to a better second half of the season under Ruben Amorim.
