The journalist claims that there is a &#8220;verbal agreement imminent&#8221; between the two clubs over a potential deal and that the clubs are closing in on getting it over the line. Romano states that the loan transfer is expected to be sealed after the Red Devils&#8217; match against Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday (January 19).<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong for Antony?<\/h3>\n<p>The 24-year-old winger arrived with great expectations <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/29\/antony-manchester-united-player\/\" target=\"_self\">from Ajax in 2022<\/a>, but things have not gone smoothly for him at all at Old Trafford. Antony has failed to prove himself as a top winger in England, having just five goals and three assists in 61 Premier League matches for the Red Devils. In the ongoing campaign, he&#8217;s only managed one goal in 13 appearances, with it coming in a Carabao Cup clash against Barnsley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/01\/09\/manchester-united-scout-mads-hermansen\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Scout \u2018Highly Rated\u2019 Premier League Keeper<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been used as a substitute in six matches since Amorim&#8217;s arrival and only started two matches under the new head coach.
