Antony has been in dismal form and hasn\u2019t contributed a single goal or assist in his 11 appearances this season.<\/p>\n<p>United shelled out an initial \u00a381.3million to prise Antony away from Ajax just weeks after Erik ten Hag had left the Johan Cruyff Arena to take over at Old Trafford. The Brazil international bagged 10 goals and five assists during his maiden campaign in England but was in and out of the team under his Dutch mentor.<\/p>\n<p>After September\u2019s international break this year, the 23-year-old had his return to Old Trafford \u201cdelayed\u201d following domestic abuse allegations, which the player denies. And since returning to action, he has started just two of his side\u2019s four Premier League matches.<\/p>\n<p>The player came under fire after lashing out at Manchester City ace Jeremy Doku in the closing stages of the Manchester derby last month. He was once again criticised for his performance against Fulham at the weekend. And there is talk his current employers could allow him to leave the club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Mikel Arteta hits back at Gary Neville after &#8216;dangerous&#8217; Arsenal statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5054335.jpg?r=1699380341451\"><\/p>\n<p>According to The Mirror, United have shortlisted Flamengo star Barbosa as a top target and want to sign him as soon as possible. A fee in the region of \u00a320m is likely to be enough for United to sign the 27-year-old striker as he is out of contract at the end of next year. And the report says the 13-time Premier League champions are willing to offer Antony to Flamengo on loan until the end of the campaign in order to get the deal over the line.<\/p>\n<p>However, respected journalist Jorge Nicola has spoken to Antony\u2019s entourage and has been told a move back to South America is not on the cards and should be ruled out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has three new undroppables for must-win Copenhagen[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd one of only two &#8216;real candidates&#8217; to sign \u00a339m-rated Goncalo Inacio[DETAILS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Sabitzer shares what Ten Hag is like in dressing room and behind the scenes[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5054352.jpg?r=1699380341575\"><\/p>\n<p>The journalist also insists that Ten Hag trusts the player and says United hope he recovers his good football. And if the Red Devils do eventually grow tired of the attacker\u2019s performances, they would prefer to loan him to a club in Europe rather than one in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Antony was handed a starting place for United on Saturday as his team went head-to-head with the Cottagers in west London. But he was hauled off just over an hour into the showdown as Uruguay winger Facundo Pellistri came on to replace him. And Pellistri had a say in settling the contest as he teed-up Bruno Fernandes for the winner in stoppage time at the end of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1832540\/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Antony-Erik-ten-Hag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Antony available for Manchester United again as police inquiries continue Manchester United winger Antony will not be returning to Brazil, according to his agent, despite <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/man-utd-star-antonys-agent-responds-to-swap-deal-links\/\" title=\"Man Utd star Antony&#8217;s agent responds to &#8216;swap deal&#8217;
