Antony has struggled for game time as well as form in England since joining Manchester United but he may be offered a way out this summer, with Al-Nassr making a surprise move for the Brazilian.
Antony On The Move?
Having struggled to make much of an impression for Manchester United in his first two seasons, Antony may be offered a chance to move away from England with just over a week until the Premier League season starts.
Antony made 29 league appearances for United last season and he scored just one goal with the same amount of assists to his name – starting only 15 matches in another tough campaign.
Although his career with United has personally been quite poor so far, the Brazilian has still picked up an FA Cup and League Cup title in Manchester during his two seasons.
There have been no rumours of Antony leaving this summer until today, with reports coming from Saudi Arabia now suggesting that Al-Nassr could make a late move for the Brazilian.

If Antony is to sign for Al-Nassr, he would be reunited with former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, after the pair played together in the 2022/23 season.
Antony cost United a staggering £85million in 2022 when he signed from Ajax and it seems that no matter what, when the 24-year-old departs Manchester United the club is set to make a monumental loss – even if Antony does move to Saudi Arabia.
There is still three years left remaining on Antony’s contract with United, but he could make a loan move with the Red Devils eager to get the expensive £100,000 per week salary off their books.
Al-Nassr have already failed in their negotiations with one Brazilian winger this summer, as a move for Barcelona’s Raphinha fell though because the club were reluctant to let him go.
The transfer window closes on 31st of August, which leaves Al-Nassr just over 20 days to make an offer for Antony.
