The 23-year-old endured a difficult debut season, struggling to live up to the hefty £95 million price tag and facing criticism for his one-dimensional style of play.
Antony’s performances were further hampered by off-field issues, leading to reduced playing time under manager Erik ten Hag. Despite initial promise, the winger struggled to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
Turkish club Besiktas have emerged as potential suitors for Antony, who is reportedly earning £200,000 per week. However, the player is keen to remain at Manchester United and fight for his place in the team.
With Antony’s high wages and limited impact, Manchester United may face difficulties in recouping the significant investment made in the player.
The club will need to carefully consider Antony’s future, weighing up the potential benefits of keeping him against the financial implications and the need to strengthen the squad in other areas.
A move away from Old Trafford cannot be entirely ruled out, but Antony’s determination to succeed at Manchester United could complicate matters.
Besiktas want to strengthen the side this summer and see Antony as being a player who can help the team get back into the title race next term despite a potential backlash from fans due to his controversial past.
