£85m Manchester United star ‘offered’ to Barcelona
Manchester United have reportedly offered Brazilian winger Antony to Barcelona ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Erik ten Hag’s second season at Old Trafford has failed to build upon the success of last year’s campaign as they currently sit sixth in the Premier League table.
With the FA Cup now their only hope of securing silverware, pressure has begun to mount on the Dutch manager’s shoulders, especially with the movement behind the scenes at the club.
Specific questions about his recruitment since arriving at the club have been one of the main lines his critics have used with Antony the most frequent example.
The Brazilian winger was signed from Ajax for a reported £85 million but has failed to live up to this price tag failing to register a goal or assist in the Premier League this campaign.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Nacional via Football 365, the Red Devils have offered the 24-year-old to Spanish giants Barcelona.
The report claims that United would even be open to letting the Brazilian international level on a loan deal but that Barcelona have doubts about the signing.
With Antony spending a lot of time on the bench, Ten Hag has opted for Alejandro Garnacho to play on the right with the 19-year-old bagging five goals and three assists this season already.
