Man United are looking for ways to offload Antony during the January transfer window as the Manchester club need to bring in new stars for the remainder of the season.

The Premier League giants have struggled massively during the current campaign as Ruben Amorim’s side sit 14th in the standings with just six wins from 19 matches.

New signings will be needed to help turn United’s current run of form around, but Amorim has stated that the Manchester club need to sell players this month before new additions are added to his squad.

One option is Antony as the winger is open to leaving Old Trafford in 2025 due to the 24-year-old’s struggle to get minutes with the Red Devils.

Antony has made just four Premier League appearances from the bench since Amorim arrived as the winger was firmly an Erik ten Hag player having followed the Dutch coach to Old Trafford from Ajax as part of a £86m deal.

Sources have told CaughtOffside that Antony is open to leaving Man United this month with the player being offered to several teams across Europe.

Sources indicate that Real Betis are interested in signing Antony on loan in January with an option to buy and have offered Man United a proposal that would cover a small part of his €12m-a-year salary. The Manchester outfit are open to paying part of the winger’s salary, while the player is willing to accept a salary reduction.

Antony is believed to like the idea of playing in Spain but wants to understand all his options before deciding on his future.

Ajax, Juventus, Benfica and Newcastle United have all been offered the chance to sign Antony ahead of the January window, with Ajax and Juventus said to be open to a loan deal; however, none of the duo have made an official offer for the Brazilian star.

Offloading the 24-year-old will be a major part of what Man United can do in January as it remains to be seen if any official offers arrive for the United winger.

  1. I love football- it is the ‘beautiful game’ after all – but £12m a year for kicking a ball around? How is that justifiable? We know that multinational corporations have taken control of most sports – just look at Golf and the Saudi led LIV alternative – but football, for many, is still a working class experience. Take a poll of the crowd at any league match in the UK and I suggest the majority wouldn’t earn £12m their whole working lives. The wealth gap between fans and footballers is so great that it’s difficult to see how it can continue. Time for us ‘consumers’ (which is what we are now) to wake up and stop subsidising this absurdity and take our national sport back.

  2. I think Antony can become 1 of the greatest after neymar with the ability of skill and technics he have he doesn’t fit in English football for now every English football player is for themselves but if he get more game time n the right squad he will perform to his best……..
