Manchester United have reportedly made a decision regarding winger Antony’s future.
Back in the summer of 2022, Brazilian forward Antony left Dutch side Ajax for Old Trafford in a deal worth a reported fee of £86 million.
However, since joining United, Antony has predominantly been a disappointment.

The 24-year-old has only scored nine goals in 70 appearances across all competitions.
After a string of poor performances during the 23/24 campaign, Antony has been linked with a move away from Manchester.
As reported by the Daily Mail, United are willing to listen to offers for Antony when the summer transfer window opens.

It has been claimed that United could struggle to recoup even half of the money they paid for the winger back in 2022, which would be £43 million.
Speaking recently about Antony, United boss Erik ten Hag said: “Antony: I backed him for a long time. I know his abilities and he has great abilities. When he plays like I know from the past he is unstoppable, no defender can stop him because he's one of the quickest players in the first 10 yards.
“When he plays that game he will perform. I'm sure he will do for the future, I'm sure he is resilient, he is a character and he will fight back and I back him. He now has to wait for his chance and once he is there he has to pick up.”

Prior to the 2-1 defeat by Fulham, Ten Hag sent a warning to Antony, he said: “He has to prove a point, that he will do. And he has big potential. He hasn't shown it lately, but I know what his talent is, and it's about proving his talent, and it's about him.
“And, yeah, he will probably get his opportunities, right? But, yeah, I think that was always the idea.”
United are back in action on Wednesday night when they travel to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup fifth round.
