Antony Almost Joined Mourinho’s Club

LONDON: Antony reportedly wants to play on loan outside Manchester United as he looks to reignite his career.

The 24-year-old Brazilian winger has endured a difficult time at Old Trafford since moving from Ajax for £86 million in 2022.

He has only played one minute in the Premier League so far this season and has looked out of touch under Erik ten Hag.

The player has been linked with a move throughout the summer, with several clubs already expressing an interest.

According to The Sun newspaper , Fenerbahce – managed by former United boss Jose Mourinho – emerged as the leading club to secure Antony’s services.

The report says Antony has told United he wants to move with the club willing to work on a loan deal.

The winger is also said to be attracting interest from his former club Ajax, alongside teams in Spain, France and Saudi Arabia.
