Manchester United 'to offload Antony this summer, identify top target as replacement'

Antony, 24, moved to Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, with the forward penning a five-year contract at Old Trafford, but he has struggled to make his mark.

The ex-Sao Paulo youngster has only managed 10 goals and five assists in 77 matches for the 20-time English champions, and he was not in the squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Antony has scored twice and registered two assists in 33 appearances for Man United this season, and there has been speculation surrounding his future in recent months.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Man United are planning to sell the Brazilian in the upcoming market for an 'acceptable' amount, with the club looking to shift his substantial salary.

Earlier this year, Antony's agent firmly denied suggestions that the forward would be on the move this summer.

Antony has had off-the-field issues this season, with the South American still being investigated by both the Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo Civil Police following accusations from his former partner.

Gabriela Cavallin is claiming that Antony assaulted her on multiple occasions during their relationship, with the alleged incidents said to have happened in both Brazil and England.

However, Antony has always denied any form of physical violence and continues to work with the police in an attempt to clear his name.

The forward was given of leave of absence earlier this season to deal with the situation, but he continues to struggle to make his mark for the 20-time English champions and will allegedly be on the move
