Despite interest from Fenerbahce, Antony is committed to staying at Manchester United, as reported by ESPN. The Brazilian winger, who has only played one minute in the first three Premier League games of the season, is eager to feature more regularly for the club. Even though Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho, may make a formal offer, Antony’s preference is to remain at Old Trafford.
Rasmus Højlund’s Injury Concerns
Meanwhile, Rasmus Højlund’s injury has caused some concern for Manchester United. The 21-year-old striker suffered a hamstring injury during the club’s preseason tour of the U.S. United initially expected Højlund to be out for six weeks, but sources revealed to ESPN that the club is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation. This is partly due to Højlund’s lack of fitness building during the summer break.
Manchester United are currently facing a number of injury concerns, with players like Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelöf, and Leny Yoro all sidelined. These injuries have had an impact on the team’s performance, with United losing two of their first three games of the season, including a heavy defeat to Liverpool.
In the absence of Højlund, manager Erik ten Hag has had to make some adjustments to the team. He has utilized midfielder Bruno Fernandes as a false No.9 and handed summer signing Joshua Zirkzee his full debut. Zirkzee recently scored his first goals for the Netherlands in a Nations League match.
As United look ahead to their upcoming fixtures, including a trip to Southampton, the focus will be on managing the team’s injury concerns effectively. The club is keen to avoid a repeat of last season’s struggles and is taking a cautious approach to ensure that players return to full fitness before being pressed back into action. With Antony’s commitment to the club and the careful management of injuries, Manchester United will be hoping for better results in the remainder of the season.
