It has been reported that Manchester United is open to selling Antony and Marcus Rashford in 2025 if the right bids come up. In a midweek match against Arsenal, the Red Devils were soundly defeated at the Emirates, causing new head coach Ruben Amorim to suffer his first significant defeat.
The game made it clear that Amorim hasn’t been able to turn around the club’s fortunes in a few weeks. In addition, it demonstrated how some of Manchester United’s players just don’t live up to the expectations. To fix the problem and provide Amorim with the resources he needs to truly get the most out of the team and make use of his chosen system, numerous moves will be required.
One of the biggest challenges Man United will encounter in this endeavour is the requirement to closely adhere to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which will keep them from being active in January.
Man United prepared to accept £45m loss to sell Antony
Although Antony had a good start to his United career, it is obvious that he is unable to handle the pressure and intensity of the Premier League. His luck could turn if he relocates. Because Serie A games are less frantic and more tactical, the Brazilian might be more effective there.
He has a relatively low transfer value at the moment. Transfermarkt only values him at £17 million, and United is unlikely to approve his sale during the January transfer window. The best choice in the short term is a loan. Making a significant impact could increase the club’s prospects of recovering £40 million from Antony’s transfer next summer. When Chelsea signs Jadon Sancho permanently at the end of the current campaign, United will only receive £20–£25 million; thus, the sum does not appear reasonable.
