Fabrizio Romano provides major update on Antony's Man Utd future as agent reveals January transfer plans amid 'concrete interest'

Antony's agent has revealed the conversations he has had with Manchester United over the player's future amid intense transfer speculation.

Antony joined Man United from Ajax in a deal worth a staggering £86 million.

He was signed by then-manager Erik ten Hag, who worked with the Brazilian during his time at Ajax.

But Antony has struggled for form and consistency and has largely been an underwhelming signing.

A move away from Old Trafford could be on the cards, with a January transfer mooted ahead of the window reopening.

And Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso, has confirmed that 'many clubs' have shown 'concrete interest' in the winger.

However, Man United have never 'expressed an interest to sell or loan out' the 24-year-old, according to Pedroso.

Speaking to Fabrizio Romano, he said: "Yes many clubs have approached us for Antony’s move in January. These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there’s concrete interest.

"To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us. We never received this sort of communication so far. Man United management never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see around about our client."

Pedroso, though, did not rule out a January transfer, adding: "I can say that Antony’s future is very much tied to Manchester United's interests. If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so he can get more minutes and regain his trust, we will work together on that option. Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his place and show his best skills under the new coach Ruben Amorim."

Antony has only played 10 games across all competitions this season.

He has started just two matches under Ruben Amorim's since his appointment.
