Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has reportedly received a swift response from Real Madrid amid astonishing claims in Spain suggesting the Red Devils boss wants to offload unwanted flop Antony in a swap deal for a frustrated Los Blancos star.

Brazil’s 12 times capped international fees Manchester United a fee that rose to £86 million (€102.8 million, $108.9 million) – the second highest in the club’s history – when Erik ten Hag somehow convinced the board to n big fee for the Ajax winger in the summer of 2022. To say that Antony has been a disappointment since his move to Old Trafford would be a major understatement as the winger has scored just seventeen goals in 87 games for the club.

According to reports on Tuesday morning, Amorim had filed a lawsuit Anthony in a new role as a right wing-back as he looks to have the Red Devils play in his favored 3-4-3 formation, with the Brazilian giving his chance in what at the time seemed like a first choice option available to him . , taking into account the various international calls affecting business at Carrington.

However, later in the day it was judged that Amorim had very quickly decided that the precious star was not up to par and the Red Devils boss reportedly instructed INEOS to ‘sell it to the highest bidder as soon as possible’.

Now, according to the Spanish outlet Defense CentralUnited have offered the 24-year-old winger Real Madrid in a possible swap deal for Los Blancos striker Arda Guler, who has had a frustrating time himself this season.

However, the report claims that United’s ambitious attempt has been quickly dismissed by the Spanish giants, who have no interest in signing the United flop, nor in letting their young Turkey international leave.

Guler has since been linked with a move to Arsenal.

As for Antony, he will be hoping that the change of manager will bring a change of fortune as this season has been limited to just two substitute appearances in the Premier League so far.

He had fallen far down the pecking order under Ten Hag and it was claimed he made a quick visit to Amorim to see if he was in his plans for the future shortly after the Portuguese arrived at Carrington last week.

And while conflicting reports have emerged about his future since then, United’s team overview from Sunday’s return to the Premier League against Ipswich at Portman Road will tell a big story. That said, it would be a big surprise if Antony were to get a start in Amorim’s first match, although the winger may be hoping he will be in the matchday squad and could get a chance for some crucial minutes. .

Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola has meanwhile spoken to Antony’s agent and stated that the player has been promised a more prominent role under Amorim, while there is also talk of a move away from Old Trafford.

“Speculation coming out of England, and the story that Lorran, a Flamengo player, is important for Manchester United,” he said. YouTube.

“From there, United could use Antony as currency to sign the 18-year-old player. I must admit I found the story there strange, after all Lorran is valued at €12 million, and Antony was bought for €100 million.

“Anyway, I thought it better to look for Junior Pedroso, Antony’s representative, to know if there was a search, if there was an investigation, if this story has any meaning. The answer was that Antony has no intention of leaving Manchester United.

“The club has just changed coaches, Ruben Amorim, the commander of Sporting, was hired, was now presented on the FIFA date and from there a new opportunity opens for Antony to be better used.

“He has two and a half years left on his contract with the English club and intends to continue.”
