Manchester United are exploring the possibility of signing Dutch winger Anwar El Ghazi as a free agent, according to the Daily Mail.
This development comes amidst the cloud of uncertainty hovering over Antony and Jadon Sancho.
El Ghazi recently severed ties with PSV Eindhoven and became a free agent, making him eligible to join United outside of the transfer window.
The 28-year-old is an experienced player whose career journey includes stints with Ajax, Aston Villa and Everton.
El Ghazi was present at United’s recent loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium just before the international break.
He has offers from Saudi Arabia but is keen on returning to the Premier League with United.
Brazilian winger Antony has been placed on indefinite leave by United amid misconduct allegations involving three women.
In a separate saga, Sancho’s future at Old Trafford is in doubt following a public falling-out with manager Erik ten Hag.
The club wants to sign El Ghazi while they address the predicaments involving Antony and Sancho.
Ten Hag held discussions with Sancho on Monday, marking their first meeting since the player’s public criticism of the Dutch manager on social media.
Sancho accused Ten Hag of dishonesty and claimed to have been unfairly singled out at the club.
His future remains uncertain after a proposed loan move to Al-Ettifaq failed to materialise last week.
United’s efforts to offload him before the upcoming January transfer window may prove challenging.
Antony faces an extended period of uncertainty as he tries to clear his name in the face of serious allegations.
The former Ajax winger has denied accusations of assault made by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.
Two more women in Brazil, Law student Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana, have since come forward with allegations against the United forward.
