Anthony (name)
Vows to fight for playing time, but the new season has seen him in the
Manchester United Football Club
There's not much room to play in the lineup. After 10 games in the league and Europe, Anthony has only made 3 substitute appearances and played only 47 minutes, which is an absolute substitute's performance. Even if Temhag has coached him since Ajax, he doesn't trust him now, so it's unlikely that Anthony will stay at United.
United and Anthony still have 3 years left on their contract, but it's hard to get another chance with the way he's been playing. For United, selling or loaning out Anthony will free up salary space, reduce losses, and strengthen the position of the wingers, otherwise the future performance is not guaranteed with the current lineup.
For Anthony, staying at United without playing time is not good for his career, he is only 24 years old and normally has room to rise. He can't seem to handle the attention and pressure at United, so leaving the giants and going to a lower mid-table club or leaving the Premier League might be the best option, at least to ensure that he has a ball to play.
English media CaughtOffside reported that Manchester United decided to send away Anthony in the winter window, direct sale is unlikely, the probability of accepting a loan. Newcastle and Crystal Palace winter window may strengthen the front line, Anthony is their loan target. However, these two Premier League clubs are only interested in Anthony, will give Manchester United satisfied with the offer is not yet known.
Aside from Premier League clubs, a loan back to Ajax might be more ideal for Anthony and United. Anthony is now valued at €20 million, down from his peak of €75 million, and United have lost a lot of money investing in him, but there's no way around it, and a loan back to Ajax might be better for both parties, it's where he's familiar and where he made his name.
