Manchester United fans told £86M star is making January transfer move

Ex-United centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes that Antony will leave Manchester United this transfer window, as he has fallen out of favour with boss Ruben Amorim.

The winger has failed to put together any sort of consistency since his move to the Theatre of Dreams in the summer of 2022 and has looked nothing like the player that dominated at Ajax.

Ten Hag publicly backed the £86million man when he was boss at the club, despite his woes in front of goal, But United were willing to let the Brazilian leave on loan over the summer, provided potential suitors pay the entirety of his £70,000-a-week wage.

However – the decision was made that he would stay at the club and be given one more chance under Ten Hag, but then the Dutchman got the sack and now Amorim has not been impressed by the performances of Antony.

Now, amid all the speculation and rumours, Ferdinand believes Antony is gone and getting rid of the three players would help improve the atmosphere in the dressing room, saying on his podcast: “I think Antony’s going, someone said to me, Real Betis or somewhere like that. Just get them out man! Sorry, no, I’m just being honest.

‘The more these type of guys are around, where there’s just a bad noise, they all want to go, they’re all happy to go – let’s just get them out. Let’s start afresh.

‘You know what it’s like, if there’s people who are unsettled in there and it’s not going to plan and they’re not happy, it spreads. It’s like a cancerous, bad energy.”

Amorim will be trying to bring in players that will help the club make more of a challenge for that Premier League and Champions League over the next few seasons – and he is keen to get rid of players that have struggled over the past few seasons.

Anthony is deadwood and looks like a player that does not want to play for Manchester United, this loan move may be the best ting for the club and the player.
