Manchester United Transfer News- A Disastrous Second Season at Manchester United
If the first season was unsatisfactory the next one was disastrous. Despite arriving with high hopes after his £82 million transfer from Ajax, the 24-year-old has scored only 9 goals throughout his time at Manchester United. Both fans and critics began to show disappointment, leading to rumors of an upcoming exit.
GiveMeSport reports that Olympiacos is closely monitoring the struggling player from Manchester United. Despite the Greek giants' initial denials of interest, sources believe that negotiations are secretly continuing. They aim to strengthen their squad following the release of former Chelsea player Willian and consider Antony as an appropriate replacement.
