have no plans to sell Antony in the January transfer window, according to the Brazilian’s agent. Red Devils boss is placing his trust in the struggling winger despite suggesting earlier this month that he was devoid of confidence.
Antony has struggled to settle at Old Trafford since his big-money £86million transfer in 2022. He had been signed by having shone under the Dutchman at Ajax.
The 24-year-old has been linked with an exit ahead of the January window, either on loan or in a permanent switch.

“To be fair, have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us. We never received this sort of communication so far. Man United management never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see around about our client.
“I can say that Antony’s future is very much tied to ‘s interests. If the club thinks it would be a good idea to loan Antony out in January so he can get more minutes and regain his trust, we will work together on that option. Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his place and show his best skills under the new coach .”
Antony has performed well in some of United’s games during Amorim’s first month in charge. His introduction late in the Red Devils’ 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen was key to their triumph. It was his driving run that led to ’s equaliser in Czechia.

But there have been other times when Antony has struggled to make an impact. Amorim insists he will keep Antony at Old Trafford and help him overcome his poor first two years at the club.
“He needs more confidence. If you remember the Antony I played against in Ajax, he lacks a bit of confidence to go one against one but he will improve,” the United boss said.
“He’s working really hard and he’s trying. He’s playing more inside than outside, especially in this game, and he just has to do that: work really hard and I will help him to be a better player.”
