Manchester United is reportedly considering selling winger Antony to Fenerbahçe amid their efforts to streamline the squad according to Fotomac.
Antony, who joined United from Ajax for a significant fee last season, has struggled to justify his price tag. The 24-year-old has been behind Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo in the pecking order at right wing and has been an unused substitute in several matches.

The new Manchester United hierarchy, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is reportedly open to selling Antony. The club views the transfer as a way to recoup some of the investment they made in the player.
Fenerbahçe has emerged as a potential destination for Antony. The Turkish club is reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian winger and is working to finalize a deal.
While the initial asking price for Antony was relatively high, Manchester United is now willing to sell him for a significantly reduced fee of £25 million.
If Antony moves to Fenerbahçe, he would join a growing list of players who have left Manchester United this summer. The club has been actively seeking to reduce their squad size and improve their financial situation.
The transfer window is still open in Turkey until 18 September so Fenerbahce do have time to complete the move and with most European leagues transfer windows shutting early it puts them in an advantageous bargaining position.
