Newcastle and Brighton among clubs interested in Manchester United forward Antony

Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion are among the clubs to express interest in signing Antony this summer.

Antony has no future at Manchester United after manager Ruben Amorim banned him from returning to the club for pre-season training. 

The 25-year-old is widely expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, despite having two years left on his contract. 

Antony has no shortage of admirers as he has received enquiries from three leagues in Europe, per UOL. 

United are ready to sanction an exit if they receive an offer of around £50 million for the winger. 

Antony cost a whopping £85m fee to sign for United from Ajax in 2022. 

The Brazil international failed to live up to expectations, registering just 12 goals and five assists in 96 appearances. 

However, he revived his career during a loan spell at Real Betis during the second half of last season.

He scored nine goals and provided five assists in 26 games across all competitions. 

Betis are keen to sign him on loan again, but United prefer a permanent sale. 

RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen have also expressed interest in Antony, but the financial costs could be a stumbling block for them.
