Antony wanted on loan by European giants for falling out of favour under Amorim

Man United winger Antony is wanted on loan by Olympiacos, Mail Sport understands.

The Brazilian has not started a league game for United this season but has found himself being used off the bench by Ruben Amorim.

Erik ten Hag made Antony, his former charge at Ajax, one of his first signings in 2022 in a mega £85.5million move, but things have not gone to plan.

Now, as Amorim continues to make his mark upon the United squad, clubs in Europe have become aware of Antony's situation at Old Trafford.

The Greek side currently sit top of their domestic division but would welcome the addition of the former Ajax man in January.

Recently, Antony's agent Junior Pedroso told GiveMeSport that his client is willing to go out on loan.

'Many clubs have approached us for Antony’s move in January,' he said.

'These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there’s concrete interest.

'I can say that Antony’s future is very much tied to Manchester United'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 Ruben Amorim.'

Meanwhile, AC Milan are weighing up a loan approach for Marcus Rashford.

The striker, who has been out of favour under Ruben Amorim and missed the midweek defeat to Newcastle through illness, is ready for a new challenge and is available this month.

United ideally want to sell for £40million and that figure plus his wages of over £325,000-a-week are the major stumbling block.

United will consider loans with obligation to buy offers and a number of clubs have expressed interest.

Rashford has turned down approaches from Saudi Arabia and wants to remain in Europe to further his England career.
