Manchester United star Antony's agent provides update on player's January plans amid interest from 'many clubs'

Manchester United attacker Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso has claimed that multiple European clubs are interested in signing the Brazilian attacker. Antony joined the Red Devils from Eredivisie giants Ajax in August 2022 for a reported transfer fee of £82 million.

He has since made 92 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils, bagging 12 goals and five assists. The Brazilian attacker's form has been concerning for the club as he has failed to establish himself as a starter.

However, according to his agents, many clubs are interested in signing the 24-year-old in the upcoming January window. Junior Pedroso said (via GIVEMESPORT):

"Many clubs have approached us for Antony's move in January. These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there's concrete interest. To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us."

Pedroso claimed that the Red Devils are yet to decide on the Brazilian attacker's future. However, he affirmed that Antony aligns with the club's interest and suggested United may let the Brazilian attacker leave on a loan, which will help him get more minutes. He further added:

"I can say that Antony's future is very much tied to Manchester United's interest. If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so he can get more minutes and regain the trust, we will work together on that option."

Junior Pedroso also said that the former Ajax attacker is training hard to regain his place in the starting XI under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in signing Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez in the January transfer window, as per Fabrizio Romano. The two Premier League sides are also sending their scouts regularly to watch the Hungarian defender.

According to a report from TBR Football, Arne Slot's Liverpool and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City scouted Milos Kerkez during Bournemouth's 4-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, as per Fabrizio Romano, United are more keen on signing the defender. He said on the Men in Blazers podcast:

"For Milos Kerkez, I think keep an eye on Manchester United, because Man United are also looking at that position. Man United, I'm told, are more concrete than Liverpool in this monitoring activity for Milos Kerkez."

The Hungarian defender joined Bournemouth from Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar in July 2023. Since then, he has made 57 appearances across all competitions, bagging five goals and eight assists.

United are also reportedly keen to sign a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, who have been inconsistent for the Red Devils due to multiple injuries over the last few seasons.
