Manchester United have reportedly made a bold move in their pursuit of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong by offering Antony as part of a swap deal.
The proposal, aimed at reinvigorating United’s midfield, comes as part of Erik ten Hag’s ongoing effort to reunite with his former Ajax star.
De Jong, who has been a target for United since Ten Hag took over at Old Trafford, remains a high-profile player despite Barcelona’s willingness to consider a sale.

FKF Charity Shield Cup clash between Gor Mahia and Kenya Police unexpectedly called off

Can Chelsea thrive in Conference League after concluding pre-season with just one win?
Chelsea fans worried as the Blues end pre-season tour with only one win.
Antony, who arrived at Manchester United from Ajax in a high-profile £86 million transfer, has struggled to replicate his previous form.
The Brazilian managed only eight goals and three assists in his first season and saw his output diminish further last campaign.
With three years remaining on his contract, plus an option for an additional year, United are reportedly considering whether to cut their losses on Antony.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are keenly aware of Antony’s difficulties and are weighing whether his potential could justify a move from Manchester.
The swap deal’s rejection reflects their preference for a straightforward financial arrangement over player exchanges.
