Man United ready to sell Antony
As Pulse Sports reported, Manchester United are prepared to cut their losses and part with Antony, two seasons and a half after splurging €103 million to sign him from Ajax.
The Red Devils went all out for the Brazilian winger at the request of manager Erik ten Hag. With Ajax refusing to budge on their request, Manchester United splashed the cash to bring him to Old Trafford.
Since signing in the summer of 2022, Ten Hag has given Antony ample game time to show his qualities, but he has failed to shine. In his 86 games for the club, he has only managed 12 goals and five assists.
His game time has progressively waned, as Ten Hag seemingly trusts other players in his position over Antony. This season, he has only managed one start, with Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho starting more games on the right flank than him.
Milan plot Chukwueze sale to land Antony
The Red Devils are said to have slapped a €40 million price tag on the Brazil international, and the Serie A duo of Milan and Juventus are reportedly keeping tabs.
The links to the Rossoneri are stronger, and according to Caught Offside, they could make a move for the 22-year-old. However, given their financial situation, they have to offload Samuel Chukwueze first.
The Nigerian winger, like Antony at Manchester United, seldom set the world alight in Milan. He has been underwhelming since his acquisition from Villarreal in the summer of 2023, and AC Milan will not mind letting him go, as he has interests from the Premier League.
Should they successfully sell the 25-year-old, the report stated that they will make a move for Antony.
