Manchester United is close to finalizing the loan of Antony to Fenerbahçe, managed by José Mourinho. The Brazilian winger, purchased in 2022 from Ajax for $95 million, has not met expectations in the Premier League, scoring only 11 goals and providing five assists in 83 appearances. Antony has fallen behind players like Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo in Erik ten Hag's plans.

With the Turkish transfer window closing on September 13, Antony's move appears imminent. This loan would relieve Manchester United of his salary and give Antony a chance to rediscover his form in a new setting.

Fenerbahçe has been active in the transfer market, and Antony’s addition aims to bolster their attack. He would reunite with his former teammate Fred, who also transferred to Turkey this summer.

This move represents an attempt by Antony to rejuvenate his career after a challenging stint at Old Trafford, where he struggled to establish himself as the star many anticipated.
