According to reports, Manchester United have ‘received’ a huge offer to sell Brazil international Antony with his form for Real Betis ‘not going unnoticed’.

Antony has failed to live up to expectations at Man Utd. He has never come close to living up to the reported £86m fee paid to sign him from Eredivisie giants Ajax in 2022.

Former boss Erik ten Hag identified the winger as a priority target after they worked together at Ajax, but he could not replicate his form for Ajax in a Man Utd shirt.

The 25-year-old only has 12 goals and five assists in his 96 appearances for Man Utd in all competitions, and he did not make a single Premier League start in 2024/25 before joining Real Betis on loan in January.

United head coach Ruben Amorim does not appear to be a fan of Antony as he sanctioned the winger’s exit in January, but he has returned to form in recent months.

Antony has four goals and four assists in his 12 appearances for Real Betis, as he’s boosted Man Utd’s chances of selling him for a decent fee this summer.

It has been reported that his valuation has been set at around £40m, but a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Man Utd have ‘received’ an ‘offer worth up to £64m with add-ons from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, who are ‘leading’ the race to sign him.

It is suggested that Atletico Madrid’s proposal is ‘€45 million (£38m) fixed, with a further €30 million (£26m) in variables’.

Man Utd are expected to sign a new striker this summer and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has analysed their chances of signing Napoli outcast Victor Osimhen, who is among the leading scores in Europe. 

Romano said: “The expectation is for Victor Osimhen to leave Galatasaray. He’s going back to Napoli and Napoli, that’s the indication I’m getting, want to sell the player as soon as possible.

“So forget about an Osimhen saga at the end of July, end of August, as we had last summer. Napoli don’t want to enter into the same situation.

“His clause is €75 million, but Napoli are open to finding a different solution even before, to find a solution already in June, that’s the idea, the ideal scenario for Napoli for the Osimhen story. There are several options. In England, we know English clubs are interested.

“For Man Utd, the interest is still there, but it is still not something guaranteed for Man Utd because of the salary, because it’s a very expensive package, and because Man Utd have several options, including [Liam] Delap and more players.

“Man United will sign a striker, but for Osimhen, at the moment, it’s not something guaranteed.”

Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap has been urged to reject Manchester United and join Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest this summer.

Delap left boyhood club Man City during last summer’s transfer window to join newly-promoted Ipswich in a deal worth around £20m.

The 22-year-old has been one of the breakout stars in the Premier League this season as he has grabbed 12 goals and two assists in his 30 appearances.

Ipswich are set to be relegated after their damaging 2-1 loss against 17th-placed Wolves, but Delap is expected to remain in the Premier League amid interest from several sides.

There is a £40m release clause in Delap’s contract and journalist Ben Jacobs claims the talented forward is attracting interest from Man Utd and Chelsea.

“Liam Delap high in the thinking of Chelsea and Manchester United,” Jacobs revealed.

“Still an open race, with Delap focused on trying to keep Ipswich up. Suitors with European football likely to have an advantage.”

Man Utd need to sign a new striker and Delap would be a cheaper alternative to Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres and Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen, who are contenders to be this year’s top scorer in Europe. 

However, former Premier League forward Stan Collymore reckons Delap should snub Man Utd for Nottm Forest, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side the “perfect fit” because they “suit his style” and are “on the up”, while they have also “turned the fortunes” of three players.

“If I was Liam Delap, I would not join Man United this summer,” Collymore told Caught Offside.

“I think they are not a credible enough team at the moment in terms of competing next season – maybe they can do it in the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup, but they certainly would not be able to do it in the Premier League.

“Instead, he should consider joining someone like Nottingham Forest, who are putting their mouth where their mouth is.

“All he needs to go is look at guys like Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood, who have turned their fortunes around over the last 12 months, and they are now thriving – especially this season.

“I think Delap would enjoy playing there, especially if Forest were to qualify for next season’s Champions League. And in Nuno Espirito Santo, he would be playing for a manager that loves to counter-attack, and that would suit his style a lot more that if he were to go to Old Trafford in the summer.

“Forest are undoubtedly a club on the up. They are a big club with knowledgeable supporters, and I think it would be a perfect fit for him to make the move there in the summer when he inevitable leaves Ipswich.”

Man Utd and Arsenal have made ‘official offers’ for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer, according to reports.

The Red Devils having a poor season in the Premier League with Ruben Amorim’s side remaining 13th in the table after their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in midweek.

Performances and results have got worse since Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag in November and now their only hope of a trophy comes in the Europa League after exited the FA Cup earlier this year.

Man Utd have struggled to score goals in the Premier League this season with only five clubs scoring fewer than the Red Devils.

Hojlund – who signed from Atalanta for £72m in the summer of 2023 – has scored just three Premier League goals in 25 appearances for Man Utd this term, while Joshua Zirkzee has also scored three.

Both players have come in for criticism with Hojlund going on a run of 20 matches without scoring in all competitions before scoring against Leicester City in mid-March.

And now Man Utd are looking for a new striker with Napoli striker Osimhen – who is currently on loan Galatasaray – becoming one of their top targets.

Arsenal are also looking for a striker as they have been caught short with just Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus – who are both now injured – their main centre-forward options.

And now Turkish journalist Arda Ozkurt claims that Man Utd and Arsenal have submitted offers for Osimhen with three other clubs also credited with interest.

Ozkurt wrote on X: ‘Arsenal and Manchester United have made official offers for Victor Osimhen, while Barcelona, ​​Liverpool and PSG are keeping a close eye on the player’s situation. If Osimhen wants to stay, Galatasaray is ready to make sacrifices to get Osimhen’s transfer fee.’

But a report on Friday claimed that Osimhen ‘has set his sights on finally completing a move to Chelsea this summer’ after being close to joining the Blues in 2024.

Football Transfers added:

‘Chelsea are determined to sign a new centre forward during the 2025 summer transfer window and the west London giants are ready to rekindle their interest in Osimhen, FootballTransfers has been told.

‘We have been informed that Osimhen has set his sights on completing a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, with the Blues interested in signing the 26-year-old as they look to purchase a prolific goalscorer ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.’

Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim is looking to get one of his players out of the club at the end of the season, according to reports.

The Red Devils are having a terrible campaign with INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe making the decision to sack Erik ten Hag and replace him with Ruben Amorim in November.

Man Utd are currently 13th in the Premier League after their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in midweek and Amorim is already coming under pressure to turn around results and performances.

The strikers at Old Trafford have come under particular scrutiny this season with Rasmus Hojlund and Zirkzee scoring just five Premier League goals between them this season.

Only five Premier League sides have scored fewer goals than Man Utd this season and their attack could require some major surgery in the summer.

One player who doesn’t seem to suit Amorim’s style of play and tactics is Alejandro Garnacho with Spanish publication Fichajes claiming that the Argentina international is ‘the player Amorim wants out’ at Old Trafford.

The Man Utd winger ‘could leave Old Trafford in the summer as he does not have the approval of’ Amorim with his future at the Premier League club ‘beginning to look uncertain’.

Amorim has ‘made his discontent with the player’s defensive commitments known on more than one occasion’ and the youngster could be one of the first players out of the door in the summer.

The report adds: ‘The Portuguese manager’s arrival has shaken up several foundations at Old Trafford, and the South American’s case could be one of the first to be resolved during the summer transfer window.’

Fichajes continues:

‘In the eyes of the new manager, his attacking prowess doesn’t seem to compensate for his shortcomings in defensive play and teamwork. Amorim, who prioritizes tactical intensity and discipline, doesn’t see in the Argentine the committed player profile he demands for a long-term competitive team.

‘Although the striker’s talent is undeniable, his development has stalled in recent months. Opportunities have dwindled as the matchdays have passed, and rumors of a possible exit from the club have begun to grow louder. Teams in Italy and Spain have reportedly shown initial interest, knowing that this could be a market opportunity if United ultimately decides to open the door to him.

‘Those close to the player haven’t ruled out a move in search of playing time and confidence.’
