The player’s agent spoke about the player’s situation in an interview with a British channel.
Signed for a hefty sum by Manchester United in August 2023, Antony has yet to establish himself in England and has been the target of heavy criticism from fans and the sports media in the land of the King. As a result, speculation about the player’s departure has circulated during several transfer windows, and according to his agent, he is not as devalued as he may appear.

In an interview with the portal GiveMeSport, Junior Pedroso revealed that “many clubs” are interested in the player and plan to make a proposal for him in the January window.
“Yes, many clubs have contacted us regarding Antony’s transfer in January. These clubs wanted to understand Antony’s situation, so I can confirm that there is concrete interest,” he said.
During the interview, Pedroso also mentioned that Manchester United had never shown interest in parting ways with the player, despite numerous reports in British newspapers suggesting otherwise.
“To be fair, Manchester United has never shown interest in selling or loaning Antony. We have never received such communication from them. The management of Manchester United has never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see out there about our client,” he stated.
The 24-year-old Brazilian arrived in England at the request of former Red Devils manager Erik Ten Hag, coming from Ajax. Signed for around €100 million – equivalent to R$504 million at the time, including fixed value and bonuses – he has never managed to fully settle in. In 93 matches so far, he has scored only 12 goals and provided five assists for United. Stay ahead with BB Score.
