Manchester United are expected to listen to offers for Antony during the summer transfer window, according to a report.

Antony has failed to win over the United faithful since making the £82m move to Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022.

Though there were real moments of promise during the Brazilian's debut campaign - including a fine winner against Barcelona in the Europa League - he has failed to kick on this season, failing to register a single goal or assist in 20 Premier League appearances.

Off the pitch, Antony has also faced criticism amid investigations in Manchester and Sao Paulo of assaulting an ex-girlfriend.

The Manchester Evening News report that as part of new stakeholder INEOS' plans to aggressively sell players to ease fears over meeting the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules, the club are expected to field offers for Antony this summer.

Also on the chopping block are loanees Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek and Hannibal Mejbri, while Anthony Martial and Tom Heaton are expected to be let go when their contracts expire this summer.

Casemiro has been the subject of interest from the Saudi Pro League, and 90min revealed last week Al Ittihad and Al Nassr are preparing offers for out-of-contract Raphael Varane.

The MEN's report also names Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof and Facundo Pellistri as potential sellable assets given their contracts expire in 2025.

United seemingly do not intend to take up the purchase clause in their loan agreement with Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat and he will head back to Florence at the end of the season.

Marcus Rashford's future is also uncertain following an alarming drop in form this season - 90min understands he is on PSG's shortlist of Kylian Mbappe replacements - while Sir Jim Ratcliffe has revealed the club will take another look at Mason Greenwood's situation following his loan at Getafe.

United are hopeful of shifting at least ten players during the summer transfer window.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has revealed he will work with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS to identify transfer targets for the club.

Ratcliffe's minority takeover of the club was completed earlier this week and the INEOS chief is expected to invest heavily in the playing squad this summer, while reports have claimed no fewer than 12 current first-team players face uncertain futures under the new owner.

Asked about the approach to transfers in the upcoming window, Ten Hag stressed that he will have a say in all deals to make sure everyone is on the same page.

"I have had talks with [INEOS] about it. They will not bring in players who manager doesn't want, that will not work," he said.

"We will work together, with suggestions, bringing players in and discussing. Then it is about picking the right players. It's about co-operation and togetherness."

Ten Hag is happy to listen to advice from those in charge at Old Trafford and admitted Ratcliffe and INEOS have made it clear they expect a certain brand of football to be played.

"When I came in I also got direction, that is normal," Ten Hag continued. "The club dictates the style, so you have to get agreement about that. It is how I work now.

"So, how we want to play, that is given by the leaders of this club. They want to play proactive, dynamic, attacking football, which during my time here, we always tried to do."

United will take on Fulham on Saturday in what will be the first official game of the INEOS era at Old Trafford.
