Man Utd player 'pushing to leave the club this week' after telling Erik ten Hag he wants out ASAP

A Manchester United player is reportedly pushing to leave the club this week, despite the English transfer window being closed.

Premier League clubs can no longer sign players from other sides following the deadline on August 30, but can sign free agents until the squad registration deadline on September 13.

Some countries, however, do still have an active transfer window - including the Turkish Super Lig.

They can still sign players until Friday, with Galatasaray previously linked with the signing of United midfielder Casemiro.

But while those reports appear to have cooled, The Sun claim that his United team-mate Antony could make the move to Turkey.

It said that Fenerbahce - managed by former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho - are interested in signing the Brazil international.

Antony has made just one substitute appearance in United's three Premier League games this season.

The report claims that Antony has told club chiefs he would be interested in leaving the club, with United said to be 'keen to push through a loan deal' ahead of a possible permanent exit next summer.

The 13-time Premier League champions will be set to make a significant loss on the £85 million they spent to sign Antony from Ajax in 2022 - although the exact loss they will make remains to be seen.

It is claimed that, as well interest from Fenerbahce, clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also keen on signing Antony.

However, their transfer window closed on September 2 and does not open again until January. Clubs from Spain and France are also interested in signing him.

Speaking last month, Antony said he was determined to enjoy a stronger season at Old Trafford after scoring one Premier League goal last term.

He told The Telegraph: "I'm writing down my goals for this season and I look at them every day. I haven't been doing this for that long, but I'm doing it a lot more this season.

"New season, new mindset. I'm a lot more focused and prepared to achieve great things. I know that this season will be totally different."
