Antony ‘heading out of Man United’ to ‘create space for Viktor Gyokeres’
Man United supporters have reacted to the news that Antony looks set for a move away from the club.
According to the Daily Star, the Brazilian winger, signed from Ajax in the summer of 2022, could be shown the door by Ruben Amorim in the January transfer window.
The new Old Trafford boss appears to have little patience for underperforming players as he looks to reshape the squad.
The Red Devils are apparently prepared to entertain offers, permanent or loan, for the 23-year-old whose performances have fallen well short of expectations.
Man United future looks bleak for Antony under Ruben Amorim
For an £85 million investment [Sky Sports], Antony’s contribution has been lacklustre. His inability to consistently influence games, create goal-scoring opportunities, or contribute defensively has drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike [BBC Sport].
Despite his undeniable flair, a return of just eight goals and three assists in 58 appearances is a disappointing output for a high-priced winger, highlighting a lack of creativity and impact in the final third.
United supporters have expressed growing frustration over the wide man’s disappointing stint at the club, but appear uncertain over the merits of trying to move him on now.
While some fans have voiced their belief that United could be “creating space” for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres through his potential sale, others are skeptical about the return, with one supporter predicting that the Red Devils would only receive a maximum of £25 million for the winger. These reactions reflect the mounting discontent with Antony’s form and the uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford
Some United fans have come to the 24-year-old’s defence, with one supporter believing that under Amorim’s guidance he can rediscover the form he enjoyed at Ajax.
