Antony’s Performance
Since joining Manchester United 18 months ago, Antony has struggled to live up to his £85 million price tag and make an impact this season. He has failed to score or provide an assist and been disappointing in spite of the faith placed in him by manager Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag believes that Antony had a good pre-season and that he needs to work hard and invest in himself to regain form.
However, reports of a potential loan move to Flamengo were quickly dismissed by the Brazilian club’s vice-president Marco Braz, who stated there was zero chance of a swap deal. Antony will be looking for a chance to prove himself when the team takes on FC Copenhagen.
Flamengo’s Denial
Flamengo’s denial of interest in Antony was unequivocal. Reports in Brazil had suggested that Manchester United were considering loaning him to the Brazilian club, however, vice-president Marco Braz firmly denied any chance of a swap deal. He stated that there was zero chance of Antony joining Flamengo temporarily and that they were not pursuing a loan deal with him.
This news comes as United are looking to strengthen their attack and ease the burden on their current striker, Rasmus Hojlund. As Antony continues to struggle this season, failing to score or provide an assist, it appears that his future lies elsewhere.
United’s Search for Striker
Manchester United’s search for a striker to strengthen their attack and ease the burden on Rasmus Hojlund, who has not scored a Premier League goal since his £72 million move from Atalanta, is ongoing.
The search is for an attacking reinforcement to provide much-needed goals and assists. Manager Erik ten Hag is confident that Antony, who has struggled to make an impact since his £85 million move from Ajax 18 months ago, will improve and has had a good pre-season.
However, reports of the Red Devils loaning Antony to Flamengo have been denied by the Brazilian club’s vice-president Marco Braz who insists there is zero chance of a swap deal.
United will have to look elsewhere for the attacking reinforcement they seek.
Antony’s Upcoming Match
Having received a ringing endorsement from manager Erik ten Hag, Antony is preparing to feature for Manchester United against FC Copenhagen. Ten Hag believes the young winger had a good pre-season and is confident that his form will improve. He has urged Antony to work hard and invest in himself to regain his best form.
This match provides an opportunity for the £85 million signing to prove his worth. While his first season and a half at United has been underwhelming, this is a chance for him to turn things around. If he can perform well against FC Copenhagen, it could be the start of a resurgence for Antony.
