According to The Times, the former Liverpool coach once left open the possibility of recruiting Antony to replace the mainstay Mohamed Salah. This comes in the context that The Kop is having problems in extending the contract with the "Egyptian King" in 2022.
After that, Man United quickly spent 82 million pounds to bring the Brazilian winger. However, after 2 seasons, Antony only had 12 goals in 87 appearances. He is also on the list of liquidation this winter, when Mr. Erik Ten Hag is no longer in charge at Old Trafford.
At Liverpool this season, Salah is having an impressive scoring performance with 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. Meanwhile, the Man United player has only scored 1 goal in the English League Cup.
Mr. Mike Gordon - who directly made Liverpool's decisions at that time, decided to cancel the contract with Antony and extend it with Mohamed Salah until the summer of 2025.
Currently, the contract of the “Egyptian King” with Liverpool is gradually coming to an end. While there are rumors that the Saudi Pro League is very interested in recruiting the 32-year-old striker, The Kop is still silent in negotiating a contract extension. However, the fans at Anfield are very keen to keep the team icon.
As for Antony, the arrival of coach Ruben Amorim has made the player's future even more bleak. In the most recent training session, he was assigned to the right-back position by the new captain.
However, being in the official squad of Man United depends a lot on the effort and form of the 24-year-old player.
