A number of European clubs, including Greek giants Olympiacos, are interested MEMORANDUM Antony on loan from Manchester United, reports claim.
The 24-year-old has been a peripheral figure at Old Trafford this season, playing just 84 Premier League minutes in six substitute appearances.
The appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach has done little to improve Antony's position in the United squad, with Amad Diallo the Portuguese striker's preferred option in a system that has seen Noussair Mazraoui often deployed on the right-back.
of Daily Mail write that Antony is on the radar of Olympiacos, who are likely to be able to offer the Brazilian regular first-team football should he move on loan. However, he may need United to subsidize some of the high wages he signed up for when he joined for an eye-watering £86m in the summer of 2022.
“Many clubs have approached us about Antony's move in January,” said Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso. previously said of a possible exit.
“These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there is concrete interest. I can say that Antony's future is very much linked to Manchester Unitedthe interests of If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so that he gets more minutes and regains his confidence, we will work together on that option.”
Antony was brought to Old Trafford by former manager Erik ten Hag, who he had impressed during a two-year spell at Ajax. But despite a promising start to his United career that saw him score three goals in his first three Premier League appearances – the first player in the club's history to ever achieve that feat – he failed to kick on, often finding himself with a watching brief from the bench.
La Liga outfit Real Betis have also been touted as a possible destination for Antony, with a move to the cash-rich Saudi League previously mooted.
United are understood to be open to letting Antony leave as long as terms are favourable, with exits for Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee also on the cards after difficult starts to the campaign for both. AC Milan is interested in RashfordWHEREAS Zirkzee is a Juventus transfer target – Dushan Vlahovic has been assessed as a potential weight in any deal.
