Manchester United has slapped a hefty £40 million price tag on winger Antony, despite his underwhelming performance since joining the club in 2022, according to Metro. The Brazilian's disappointing stint at Old Trafford has led to Erik ten Hag's desire to offload him.
Antony's struggles have been evident, scoring just 12 times in 85 appearances. His second season has been particularly unimpressive, relegating him to fourth-choice winger behind Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho.
The 23-year-old's sole start this term came in the League Cup, where he scored a penalty in a 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley. United's financial constraints, compounded by potential Champions League absence, have intensified pressure to sell.
However, the £40 million asking price may deter potential suitors. Antony's substantial weekly wages of £150,000 and four years remaining on his contract add to the challenge.
United's valuation raises questions about their ability to attract buyers. Saudi Arabian clubs may be the most likely destination, given their financial muscle.
Erik ten Hag's rebuilding efforts hinge on trimming unnecessary players and recouping transfer fees. Antony's departure would free resources for strategic signings.
