Manchester United Transfer News: Antony Linked with January Exit as Interest Grows, Plus Rumors of Amar Dedic Signing
Manchester United may be preparing for a busy January transfer window, with new transfer rumors surrounding Antony and interest in Red Bull Salzburg defender Amar Dedic.
Antony’s Potential Departure
Reports suggest that Antony could be on his way out of Old Trafford in January. The Brazilian winger, who joined Manchester United from Ajax in 2022 for a deal worth up to €100 million (£83.5 million), has struggled to live up to expectations, scoring just 12 goals in 86 appearances for the club. Antony has made only two appearances in the Premier League this season.
Clubs like Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, and even his former club Ajax are reportedly interested in acquiring Antony, either on a permanent deal or a loan. Manchester United may be open to a deal if the right offer comes in, potentially marking the end of Antony’s time at the club after what has been a disappointing spell.
Interest in Amar Dedic
Manchester United are also said to be “moving towards” a deal for Red Bull Salzburg’s right-back Amar Dedic. The 22-year-old is considered one of the top young defenders in the Austrian Bundesliga, and his performances have caught the attention of several European clubs. Dedic’s market value is currently estimated at around €20 million (£16.7 million), and United may face competition from Serie A side Napoli for his signature.
Recent Signings and Squad Situation
United’s summer transfer window saw them bring in five players: Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Manuel Ugarte. Leny Yoro is yet to make his competitive debut due to a fractured metatarsal sustained during pre-season.
The club’s performance under manager Erik ten Hag has been under scrutiny, and upcoming matches against Brentford and Fenerbahce could be crucial in determining his future at the club. If results don’t improve, there might be further reshuffling of the squad and management, which could influence the transfer strategies in January.
With potential changes to both the squad and the manager’s position, Manchester United’s January transfer window could see significant activity, focusing on both departures like Antony and potential new signings like Amar Dedic.
