Britain's The Sun reported on the 9th (Korean time) 'Manchester United is trying to kick out the failed Antony, and he wants to be released as well.
Antony joined Manchester United in 2022 and is one of the worst cases of Manchester United's recruitment since then. At that time, Manchester United surprised fans by recruiting Antony, who was difficult to see as the best performance on the Dutch stage, for a whopping 86 million pounds (about 150 billion won). It was a request from coach Erik tenhach, but it was difficult to say that it was a reasonable recruitment.
The first season raised expectations a little. He appeared in 44 official matches and scored eight goals and three assists, incorporating into Tenhach's tactics. However, Antony's presence in the second season, 2023-2024, was completely disappeared from Manchester United. Antony, who scored three goals and two assists in 38 official matches, could not find any influence in the game.

Even though it received Saudi attention, it expressed its intention to stay. The English Football Insider said that "Manchester United winger Antony has emerged as the main target for Saudi Arabian club Alnasr" and turned his attention to Antony after failing to agree on the signing of Barcelona winger Hafinha. Alnasr is seeking to sign Antony, and has expressed interest ahead of the close of the transfer window, he said.
Antony didn't even intend to leave the team, contrary to Manchester United's plan and Saudi interest. He said in this interview "I'm the one asking a lot of things from me. I wasn't satisfied with last season. I have a lot of goals. There are many things I have written down for the new season. I'm doing more for this season" he said.
Manchester United fans' reaction was cold despite Antony's will. The fans said "We paid a lot of money to the League One (third division) player", "No one can accept it, so I'll let him stay.", "Everyone loves him except Manchester United fans.", "The worst recruitment ever is not the story to be told," he said, expressing strong criticism.

The Sun added 'Fenerbahce is still likely to sign Antony. Antony's former team also took notice of him. Antony has expressed his desire to leave Manchester United, and the club is also reportedly willing to push ahead with the loan. The Turkiye transfer window is open until Friday. A full transfer is difficult, but a loan move is seen as a way to revitalize his career. Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce could be the perfect place to be,' he said of Antony's possible move to Fenerbahce.
Turkey has already announced the possibility of Antony's transfer to Fenerbahce. At that time, Turkiye's Potomac reportedly wanted 25 million pounds (about 44 billion won) for Fenerbahce on the 5th. Fenerbahce wants Antony, may add to his full transfer clause' However, it is more likely to be a simple lease than a full transfer option.
Antony's transfer, which Manchester United fans wanted so much, is getting closer. Fans will be hoping that a loan move to Fenerbahce will be completed, regardless of whether he rebounds or not.
