A startling In an unexpected deal, a Premier League team will try to sign Antony from Manchester United.
Before the transfer window closed, Antony was heavily linked to a move from Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag, who paid £86 million to bring the Brazilian to the team, has put him out of favour, therefore a move could yet be imminent.
Caught Offside, who asserts that Newcastle United is considering Antony ahead of the January transfer season, says as much.
According to the source, should Newcastle fail to secure Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, they will move for the Brazilian at the beginning of 2025.
Eddie Howe thinks Antony would be a ‘useful’ addition and says he ‘appreciates’ his abilities. According to reports, Man United needs £40 million to approve a sale.
Man United would suffer a significant financial loss on Antony should he leave for a £40 million trade. But since the 24-year-old has plummeted in the hierarchy, the board would allow a move.
Antony has only made one substitute appearance for the Red Devils this season and has yet to start a game. Despite playing in 38 games in all competitions the previous season, he only managed three goals.
What does Ten Hag think about Antony?
Ten Hag acknowledged that although he knew Antony at Ajax, he hasn’t lived up to his full potential.
“He has to prove a point, that he will do. And he has big potential. He hasn’t shown it lately, but I know what his talent is, and it’s about proving his talent, and it’s about him,” he said in a brutally honest verdict.

“And, yeah, he will probably get his opportunities, right? But, yeah, I think that was always the idea.
You have competition, and now he has to show himself on the training pitch, but also others because we have opportunities there.
“With [Amad] Diallo returning from an injury, he’s doing well in the training. Omari Forson is doing well. So we have options to fill in those positions. And it’s not set that Marcus Rashford has to play as a centre forward.”
