Antony ‘closing in on move’ as he pushes immediate Man Utd exit

This came out of nowhere.

Antony is reportedly 'closing in on a move' as he pushes for a Manchester United exit, as per breaking reports.

Despite the English transfer window being closed, some countries still have an open window.

Having seen his game time limited so far this season, it is reported that Erik ten Hag now has to deal with the dilemma that Antony has told club chiefs he would want to leave the club, with United said to be 'keen to push through a loan deal' ahead of a potential permanent exit next summer.

And the reports linking Antony with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce are not going away. It is reported that the Brazilian could still yet make the move to Turkey.

Antony has made just one substitute appearance so far this season for the Red Devils.

Last season, he managed to score only one Premier League goal - against Burnley at Old Trafford.

It is understood that United would take a significant loss on the £85million they paid for his services in 2022 - however the exact loss figured is yet to be confirmed.

It is also claimed that clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also interested in acquiring his signature.

Although, their transfer window is now closed and does not open again until January.

Speaking to The Telegraph last month, Antony emphasised his spirit for improvement this season:

 "I'm writing down my goals for this season and I look at them every day. I haven't been doing this for that long, but I'm doing it a lot more this season.

"New season, new mindset. I'm a lot more focused and prepared to achieve great things. I know that this season will be totally different."
