Manchester United are considering cutting their losses on Brazilian winger Antony, who has struggled to make an impact since his £86 million move from Ajax. The 24-year-old, signed by Erik ten Hag, has faced off-field issues that have affected his performances on the pitch. Antony was granted a leave of absence in September due to allegations of domestic abuse.

Since returning in October, he has failed to score or assist in his last 20 league appearances. In a recent match against Fulham, Ten Hag opted to start 19-year-old Omari Forson in place of Antony, who came on as a late substitute in the 2-1 defeat. Despite Ten Hag’s hopes of revitalizing Antony’s form, the Dutch manager acknowledged the strong performances of other players like Forson, Amad Diallo, and Alejandro Garnacho.

Ten Hag emphasized the need for Antony to step up and prove his talent, stating that the Brazilian will have opportunities to do so but will face competition from his teammates. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival at the club, United are reportedly open to listening to cut-price offers for Antony in the upcoming summer transfer window.
