Shocking developments at Manchester United as Antony’s agent has confirmed the player’s intentions to potentially leave Old Trafford “in the nearest future as soon as possible,” saying, “He feels it’s time to evaluate other opportunities that align with his career goals.” This revelation raises serious questions about his long-term commitment to the club and has sparked intense speculation about a possible January exit.

Manchester United face several key decisions in 2025, with both the January and summer transfer windows set to play pivotal roles in shaping the club’s long-term plans.

Among the uncertainties to be addressed is the future of Antony, the Brazilian winger signed from Ajax in 2022 for a hefty £82 million fee, who now finds himself navigating a new chapter under head coach Ruben Amorim.

Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Antony’s agent, Junior Pedroso, has confirmed that the player has garnered significant interest ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.

“Yes, many clubs have approached us for Antony’s move in January,” Pedroso stated. “These clubs wanted to understand Antony’s situation, so I can confirm there’s concrete interest.”

However, Pedroso also clarified Manchester United’s stance on the matter:

“To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any intention to sell or loan out Antony. We haven’t received any communication suggesting that they want him to leave. Despite the rumors circulating, the club’s management has made no such indication.”

The possibility of an exit remains open, but it depends entirely on Manchester United’s position and the plans of Ruben Amorim. Pedroso emphasized that Antony’s future hinges on the club’s decisions in the coming weeks:

“Antony’s future is closely tied to Manchester United’s priorities. If the club believes a loan move in January would help him gain more minutes and rebuild confidence, we will collaborate on that. Otherwise, Antony is fully committed to working hard to regain his place and showcase his abilities under the new coach.”

For the first time, Antony appears open to the idea of a new challenge, including a potential loan move, but the final decision lies with the club.

Currently, Antony is focused on developing a strong rapport with Amorim, who recently expressed his support for the player: “I will help Antony,” the manager said.

As the January window approaches, the future of the Brazilian winger remains uncertain. With 12 goals and 5 assists in 92 appearances for Manchester United, Antony is waiting for clarity while preparing to contribute under Amorim’s guidance.

What will be the final decision? The answer lies with Manchester United.
