Antony has struggled to make an impact since joining Manchester United two years ago. So far, he has not scored or provided a single assist in the Premier League this season. He was not selected by manager Erik ten Hag for United’s recent defeat to Fulham, with teenager Omari Forson starting in his place. There are suggestions that Antony’s time at Old Trafford may be coming to an end, with reports indicating he could be available for a summer transfer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, several players may be leaving United at the end of the season. This includes Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, and Tom Heaton, who are all out of contract. The club also faces a decision on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Facundo Pellistri, whose contracts are set to expire in 2025. Sofyan Amrabat is expected to return to Fiorentina after his season-long loan, with no permanent deal currently in place.
Casemiro’s future at United is uncertain, with interest from the Saudi Pro League. Mason Greenwood may also leave Old Trafford after his loan spell with Getafe, but there is a possibility of a fresh decision being made later this year. There are reports that Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, and Hannibal Mejbri could be available for sale, while the future of Ten Hag may impact Sancho’s situation. Additionally, Benfica will have the option to buy Alvaro Fernandez, who is currently on loan with them.
United’s football operations have been taken over by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who stressed the importance of player sales to comply with Premier League financial regulations. He emphasized the need to manage Financial Fair Play (FFP) and stated that the club needs to understand the implications of sales and purchases before the summer transfer window.
