Manchester United's two "Teng Jia Bing" players have received invitations from Saudi Arabia, potentially bringing in £36 million! Antony has expressed his willingness to go.

Tyrell Malacia, the first player Ten Hag brought in, and his most expensive signing Antony have both been listed by Amorim as part of the "Five Mice of the Locker Room" this summer, preparing for a clear-out. However, the transfers of the two players have lacked progress, and the Red Devils are struggling to sell them at an ideal price. Now, a good opportunity has arisen, with rumors suggesting that the Saudi Professional League is interested in acquiring them; as long as they are willing to go, the club's income will be secured.

The 25-year-old Malacia was loaned to PSV Eindhoven last season, where the team made a miraculous comeback against Ajax to win the Eredivisie title. Unfortunately, the Manchester United defender was merely a "passive champion," becoming a substitute and ultimately returned, as PSV refused to buy him for €10 million, leaving Manchester United to find him another club.

Celtic in the Scottish Premiership once showed interest, but they requested Manchester United to subsidize the player's weekly wage of £80,000, or else they couldn't afford his salary. Now, Dutch outlet "International Football" reports that an unnamed Saudi club has made a concrete offer, and Malacia is considering it. If he agrees to join, Saudi Arabia will bid several million pounds for him.

It is said that Al-Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, is one of the potential buyers for Malacia. The team previously acquired another left-back, Brazilian Alex Telles, from Manchester United for £6 million. Another Saudi club is also interested in the Dutch left-back but has yet to take action.

With only one year left on Malacia's contract with Manchester United, a price of around £3 million would be enough for the club to release him. Malacia has been excluded by Amorim; the player did not participate in first-team training and did not travel with the team to the United States for the preseason, making Saudi Arabia potentially the best buyer for the Red Devils, as they would at least not demand compensation for the player's wages.

Unlike Malacia, the 25-year-old Brazilian winger Antony, who was loaned to Real Betis last season, performed excellently, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists. However, Betis could not meet Manchester United's asking price of £33 million, and negotiations have been at a standstill. Reports indicate that two top Saudi clubs are now interested in Antony, and he has the opportunity to become one of the highest-paid footballers in the world.

Antony's agent, Junior Pedrosa, confirmed that his client is willing to transfer to the Saudi Professional League. "What I can say is that this player is on the market, and several clubs want to know his situation," the agent stated. "We are listening to plans and analyzing possibilities. But Antony is willing to play in Saudi Arabia, and staying at Manchester United is also an option. Anything can happen; we are looking for what is best for him."

The player's willingness is crucial, as not everyone is eager to go to the Middle East for financial gain. During the summer transfer window, Manchester United had a chance to sell captain Bruno Fernandes to Al Hilal for £100 million, with the team offering a high price and salary, but the Portuguese midfielder declined, and the Red Devils missed out on a substantial transfer fee.

Antony is reportedly open to a transfer to Saudi Arabia, but the Brazilian international's first choice remains European leagues, as he hopes to continue being selected for Ancelotti's Brazil team for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He has dismissed the possibility of returning to Brazil to play. Brazilian media reports that Antony has turned down offers from Botafogo and his former club São Paulo, stating he is currently not interested in playing back home.

If Manchester United can sell both Antony and Malacia to the Saudi league, they are expected to earn £36 million, ensuring they will not be counted as losses under the Premier League's PSR profitability and sustainability regulations. Moreover, this money will be sufficient for Amorim to bring in a new goalkeeper and midfielder.
