Man United are still evaluating a number of moves that they wish to make in the next transfer window.
First of all, they are about to sign Dan Ashworth according to CaughtOffside sources, and only the final green light from Newcastle is missing.
Everything points to an official announcement being just a matter of time.
Man United’s project will take shape this summer
Antony’s future is gradually taking shape too. There is no doubt that the Brazilian winger will leave the Red Devils, with the English club doing their best to limit their losses given that his market value is rapidly decreasing.
In January, rumours of a hypothetical loan move had no solid basis – and it’s no coincidence that the player remained in the squad.
However Man United’s aim now is to part ways with him in the summer, maximising the sale and, above all, saving on the £6m salary that the player earns per year.
A new name to replace him has become part of the conversation too; Johan Bakayoko, also followed by Liverpool.
United have always followed Micheal Olise too, whose release clause at Crystal Palace is set at around the €40m mark.
As with Antony, things are also quite clear for Sofyan Amrabat. There will be no room for him at Old Trafford next season, therefore, the buy option in the loan deal with Fiorentina will not be activated.
An agreement for the renewal of Kobbie Mainoo has reached the final stages, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Ousmane Diomande’s stock are continuing to rise in the red half of Manchester – even if Chelsea and others are still on the trail of the Sporting centre-back.
