Man United plan to accept Mason Greenwood offer – sources
Man United will sell both Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood before sanctioning Antony’s departure, sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed that manager Erik ten Hag wants to keep the Brazilian at the club, who are set to sell the attacking duo before allowing him to leave.
Sources have told Football Insider (29 February) that the Dutchman still has faith that Antony can become an important player for the Red Devils despite his poor performances this season.
Well-placed sources have also told Football Insider (24 February) that the club will be unable to make huge signings this summer due to their Financial Fair Play obligations.
Man United make up their minds on Mason Greenwood
This means United will need to raise funds to finance their summer plans through player departures, and both Greenwood and Sancho are set to be put up for sale.
Greenwood moved to La Liga side Getafe on loan for the remainder of the season last summer and has bagged seven goals and five assists across 25 appearances in all competitions.
He was moved out of Old Trafford following allegations of assault in 2022, which have since been dropped.
Following Sancho’s high-profile fallout with ten Hag, he returned to his former side Borussia Dortmund on loan in January.
His move had no option to buy, meaning United are expected to listen to offers for the Englishman in an attempt to recoup some of the reported £73million fee they paid the German giants for his services in 2021.
Man United are set to make a huge loss on Antony if they do sell him, with Football Insider revealing (2 March) that his value has more than halved during his lacklustre stint at Old Trafford.
