Manchester United are reportedly looking to offload Antony on loan this month, with the player keen on a temporary switch away from Old Trafford amid Fenerbahce interest.

Manchester United winger Antony has reportedly decided that he wants to leave Old Trafford amid interest from Fenerbahce.

The 24-year-old made the high-profile switch from Ajax to the Theatre of Dreams during the summer transfer window of 2022 for a fee in the region of £85m.

Since then, Antony has struggled to consistently make a positive impact for Erik ten Hag's troops, scoring just 11 goals across 83 appearances.

The Brazilian is on the fringes of the Man United squad at the start of this campaign, earning just a minute of Premier League action during the opening three matches.

Antony has fallen below the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garancho and Amad Diallo in the pecking order, while fellow winger Jadon Sancho has moved to Chelsea.

Man United's Antony makes future decision?

According to The Sun, Manchester United's Antony has made a concrete decision on his future at Old Trafford as the 2024-25 campaign progresses.

The report states that the 24-year-old has concluded that he wants to depart from the red side of Manchester after struggling to earn game time so far this term.

It is understood that Turkish giants Fenerbahce are interested in securing the services of the 16-time international before their transfer window shuts on Friday.

The Red Devils are said to be keen on offloading Antony, however it is believed that a permanent move away will have to wait until the next calendar year.

As well as the Yellow Canaries, there are supposedly clubs in France, Spain and Saudi Arabia monitoring the situation of the former Sao Paulo star.

Linking up with old friends?

Ahead of their transfer window slamming shut on Friday, Fenerbahce are favourites to secure the signature of Antony on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.

The Yellow Canaries have endured a difficult start to the campaign after being dumped out of the Champions League during the qualification rounds by French club Lille.

A switch to Jose Mourinho's side would allow Antony to link up with former Man United and Brazil teammate Fred, who left Old Trafford during the summer of 2023.
