Man United transfer news: 24-year-old 'makes exit decision' amid Saudi interest

sportsmole.co.uk, 9 August 2024, 22:43
Manchester United attacker Antony supposedly has no interest in leaving the Red Devils for Saudi Arabia amid interest from Al-Nassr.

The 24-year-old's time at Old Trafford has been a forgettable affair thus far, underlined by a record of just 11 goals and five assists in 82 matches across all competitions over the last two years.

Off-the-field problems have also plagued the winger, who was accused of domestic violence against multiple women last year, allegations which he firmly denies as he co-operates with police.

Erik ten Hag's side paid Ajax a staggering £85m to prise Antony away from the Dutch giants in the summer of 2022, but they are supposedly open to cutting their losses in the current window.

Man United have accepted that they will not recoup anything near the amount that they forked out for the South American's signature, but his wages - thought to be £200,000 a week - could prove problematic.

Antony 'rejects' chance to join Al-Nassr

As well as outlandish claims that Man United had offered Antony to Barcelona as part of a deal for long-term target Frenkie de Jong, Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr have also been credited with an interest.

Headlined by the inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Middle Eastern powerhouses also employ Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio and Alex Telles, another former Manchester United man.

Al-Nassr were supposedly hoping to add Raphinha to their ranks from Barcelona, but having failed in that mission, they turned their attention to the countryman of the former Leeds United man.

However, Football Insider claims that Antony is giving no consideration to a move to the Saudi Pro League and would reject any proposals from Al-Nassr or any other clubs that came his way.

The ex-Ajax starlet is reportedly still determined to stay and make a name for himself in the Premier League, although a significant offer could still twist Man United's arm.

Antony has three years left to run on his contract with the Red Devils, although an extension appears highly unlikely unless he enjoys a serious revival in 2024-25.

Will Antony play for Man United in Community Shield?

Not selected for the Brazil squad ever since the first allegations of domestic abuse came to light, Antony has been at Ten Hag's disposal all summer thanks to his Copa America snub.

The 24-year-old came off the bench in all three of the Red Devils' USA tour matches against Real Betis, Liverpool and Arsenal, and he is expected to be part of the team for Saturday's Community Shield encounter against Manchester City.

However, Antony is not expected to be among the starters for the FA Cup holders at Wembley, as Amad Diallo and the returning Jadon Sancho are alternative options on the right flank.

The Red Devils could be missing a plethora of players through injury against Man City, although Ten Hag has apparently been handed one major boost ahead of the derby.
