Juventus want to sign Antony, or trade with Manchester United with an iron waist! Van der Sar advised Amorim to keep the Circle God

Manchester United winger Antony was resurrected from his loan spell at Real Betis last season, scoring nine goals and providing five assists, attracting buyers. Although the two sides are "on the same page", Betis has no money to buy, so the future of the 25-year-old Brazil international hangs in the air. According to the latest rumours, Serie A giants Juventus are interested in bringing in and possibly in exchange for his compatriot Douglas Luiz.

Manchester United want to sell Antony for £40 million, while Juve are looking to sell Luiz for £30 million. According to sources, the "Old Lady" has offered to make a double rent-to-buy deal with Manchester United. Specifically, they have Antony on loan, with the option to buy it next summer, while Manchester United have an option to buy Luiz on loan at the end of next season. In this way, both parties can receive a transfer fee at that time, and the recruitment expenses can be amortized in installments, achieving a win-win situation.

However, 11 days ago, former Juventus sporting director Christian Zeontoli left the company, and it remains to be seen whether new director Damian Comoli will continue to push forward with it. But Juve did think about Antony, and now everything depends on the new transfer manager.

Manchester United may still need some time to determine Antony's next home, and Ten Hag's Bundesliga runners-up Bayer Leverkusen are also rumoured to be interested, but there is no real action. Former Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar, who sold Antony to Manchester United for 100 million euros that year, believes that Ruben Amorim can consider keeping the "round god" and give him another chance!

Van der Sar said: 'Luckily I no longer have to decide at a club what kind of player has to come, but United are on the right path, signing a more experienced striker [Cunha] and maybe another [Mbeumo] is on the way. Both of the club's signings during the winter break were good, so if they trust the coach, they should be fine. Maybe Garnacho will leave and I would recommend bringing Anthony back, but I'm not sure if that's realistic."

Manchester United fans did not agree with Van der Sar's suggestion, and in the past, after Lingard loaned out West Ham United, he was withdrawn by Solskjaer for his own use, and the result was directly scrapped, and finally the free transfer fell to a halt, with no benefit for the club and the player. Interestingly, Van der Sar also backed up his other Ajax veteran, Andre Onana: "He'll be fine next season!"

The future of the 29-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper is also uncertain, with United rumoured to bring in a new goalkeeper. Onana has a contract with Manchester United until 2028, but when asked recently about his future, he was uncertain: "Am I leaving? I don't know, we'll see!"

Aston Villa's Argentine international Emiliano Martinez is one of the possible goalkeeper candidates for Manchester United to bring in, and Argentine "TyC Sports" reported that Galatasaray of the Turkish Super League has made an offer to him, but the goalkeeper who intends to leave Villa has not accepted, he wants to wait for Manchester United's decision, and his priority is Manchester United.

The 32-year-old has a contract with Villa until 2029 and will not be sold cheaply, so United will only consider signing Onana if they purge him. This week there were rumours that Onana would leave Manchester United this summer, but there are no authoritative sources confirming this. Another diametrically opposed report also exists, saying that Onana is confident that he will stay and continue as the No.1 goalkeeper.

The most important thing is that Onana joined for a transfer fee of 50 million euros, and his weekly salary was more than 120,000 pounds, so it is quite difficult to find a next home willing to buy him.
