The winger was linked with a move to Besiktas and intermediaries had approached the club regarding a potential move but the board have made it clear they are not interested.

A loan transfer had been rumoured as being on the cards but the Black Eagles will not be entering any formal negotiations.

The Turkish giants are in the midst of a squad rebuild after a disappointing season but have made it clear that Antony is not a target.

The 23-year-old endured a difficult debut season at United, failing to live up to expectations following his £95 million transfer from Ajax.

With the Red Devils open to offers for the winger, Besiktas had emerged as a potential destination.

Manchester United now face the challenge of finding a suitable club for Antony, who is likely to command a significant transfer fee.

The Premier League side will need to carefully consider their options as they look to recoup some of the substantial investment made in the Brazilian winger.
