Manchester United seems ready to entertain offers for Antony following Erik ten Hag's recent dismissal, who played a key role in his arrival at the English club. The departure of the Dutch coach marks a turning point at Old Trafford, and with a disappointing start to the 2024/25 season, the "Red Devils" board is looking to make significant adjustments, including the possibility of parting ways with the Brazilian forward, whose performance has fallen well below expectations.
Antony joined Manchester United in 2022 from Ajax as one of Ten Hag's major gambles, who saw in him a winger with potential to contribute both in attack and defense. However, his time in the Premier League has not been as expected: with fewer than 15 goals in almost 100 appearances, the Brazilian has struggled to find consistency and instead has racked up several yellow cards. This inconsistent performance has led the club's decision-makers to consider his departure in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Moreover, United is reportedly considering loaning out Antony in January as a strategy to maintain his market value before a possible permanent sale in the summer of 2025. Rumors have emerged about interest from Inter Milan and Chelsea in his services; however, a more viable option could be a return to Ajax, the club where the forward reached his peak performance and where he could reignite his career.
With an initial investment of 86 million pounds in his signing, Manchester United will be closely monitoring the options that arise in January, aiming to minimize losses and start a new chapter in their sporting reconstruction.
