Transfer news & rumours LIVE: In Messi's footsteps? Mendes pushes Barca to value Yamal fairly

Man Utd could allow Antony to leave this summer

Manchester United could allow Antony to leave the club on loan this summer as part of a squad overhaul, but only on their terms.

A report from ESPN suggests that any club willing to pay £70,000 ($90,500) per week to cover Antony's wages can have the Brazilian for the duration of the 2024-25 campaign. It suggests the Old Trafford hierarchy aren't quite ready to sever ties with their second most expensive signing of all-time, who has fallen well short of justifying his immense 2022 price tag, but it speaks of a wider ruthlessness when it comes to decision-making.
