Manchester United star's agent reveals 'concrete interest' in January transfer
Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on the future of the Man Utd forward ahead of the January transfer window.
The agent of Manchester United forward Antony claims he has already received 'concrete interest' about a possible exit in the January transfer window.
United are expected to prioritise player exits across the next two transfer windows, with Antony one of the many players who could leave the club if an appropriate offer comes in for him. Antony signed for United from Ajax for an £82 million fee in the summer of 2022 and despite showing recent signs of improvement under head coach Ruben Amorim, he has never come close to justifying the enormous amount of money spent on him.
The 24-year-old does not have an obvious role to play in the new tactical approach under Amorim and his agent, Junior Pedroso, has revealed a January loan exit could be a possibility. “Yes, many clubs have approached us for Antony’s move in January," he told GiveMeSport. "These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there’s concrete interest."
Manchester World understand United are open to offers for the forward ahead of the next window, though his agent insists both Antony and the club are committed to a future at Old Trafford.
He added: "To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us. We never received this sort of communication so far. Man United management never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see around about our client.
“I can say that Antony’s future is very much tied to Manchester United's interests. If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so he can get more minutes and regain his trust, we will work together on that option. Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his place and show his best skills under the new coach Ruben Amorim.”
