To restructure the team for their ambitions of achieving glory in the new season, MU has decided to put Antony up for sale due to his failure to meet expectations.
Last summer, Erik ten Hag brought two of his disciples, Lisandro Martinez and Antony, from Ajax to MU with hopes of making a significant leap in quality.
Lisandro Martinez made a crucial contribution to MU's overall performance before getting injured, but Antony did not.
In fact, the Brazilian player was one of the biggest disappointments for MU in the past season.
To bring Antony to Old Trafford, MU had to spend up to 95 million euros on Ajax.
Despite being favored by coach Ten Hag, Antony failed to demonstrate the form expected by MU fans.
The 23-year-old player only managed to score 8 goals (4 in the Premier League) and provide 3 assists in 45 matches with MU. These results did not justify the cost that the "Red Devils" invested.
English media reported that MU has grown weary of Antony and decided to sell him this summer to upgrade their attacking options.
Although fond of his protégé from their two seasons working together at Ajax, Ten Hag understands that he needs more efficient players to improve the weakest attack among the Premier League's top 6 teams last season.
As the most successful club in English football, having won 20 national championships, MU is seeking a willing buyer for Antony at the desired price.
Recently, MU has been actively searching for a new winger and has shown great interest in Federico Chiesa.
The Italian player, who won the UEFA Euro 2020, is more versatile than Antony. Chiesa can perform well on both flanks, as a "false nine," or occasionally dropping back behind the central striker.
Chiesa wants to leave Juventus to compete in the Champions League, and MU has a strong appeal for the 25-year-old star.
