The agent of Manchester United winger Antony has revealed the player is open to leaving the club on loan in January.
Antony has struggled to make an impact in English football since his arrival from Ajax for a fee of around £82m. He has scored just five times in 59 appearances in the Premier League across the last two-and-a-half seasons.
This season, he is yet to start a Premier League game and has totalled just 77 minutes of action. Ruben Amorim’s arrival as head coach has placed his future in doubt and the player’s agent has revealed the Brazilian is open to leaving Old Trafford.
Discussing the winger’s future, Junior Pedroso told GIVEMESPORT that there has been ‘concrete’ interest in Atony heading into the January transfer window.
“Yes, many clubs have approached us for Antony’s move in January,” he said.
“These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there’s concrete interest.
“To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us. We never received this sort of communication so far.
“Man United management never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see around about our client.
“I can say that Antony’s future is very much tied to Manchester United’s interests.
“If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so he can get more minutes and regain his trust, we will work together on that option.
“Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his place and show his best skills under the new coach Ruben Amorim.”
