Antony faces fight to save Man Utd career with club ready to listen to cut-price transfer offers for £86m flop
ANTONY faces a fight to save his Manchester United career with the club set to listen to cut-price offers for their £86million Brazilian.
Erik ten Hag raided his old club Ajax for Antony, the second most expensive signing in United history behind Paul Pogba.
But the 24-year-old has had a miserable 20 months with issues off the pitch affecting his performances on it.
And unless Antony finds top form soon, United could decide to cut their losses in the summer following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival.
Antony was put on ‘leave of absence’ in September after allegations of domestic abuse.
He returned in October but has contributed no goals nor assists in his last 20 league games.
