The blockbuster Man Utd and Nottingham Forest swap deal that could see Red Devils offload mega-money signing
Man United winger Antony is set to leave the club this summer after his loan spell at Real Betis.
Man United will have a busy summer transfer window, with one of their priorities being the futures of Antony and Marcus Rashford, who are both currently on loan.
Rashford is at Aston Villa, who have a £40m option to buy him, but it is not yet clear as to whether Unai Emery will decide to keep the attacker, or if he will return to Old Trafford leaving Man United to try and sell him in summer.
Antony on the other hand, has not option to buy in his loan deal at Real Betis, but since he’s gone through a resurgence, he does have interested parties. Man United would like to make sure they earn a portion of the £86m they spent on Antony if they were to sell him.
The Red Devils aren’t just keen to offload their attackers, Ruben Amorim also wants to strengthen at the top of the pitch. One player that United have been linked to is Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The former Chelsea winger has made 29 Premier League appearances for Forest this season, scoring five goals and providing two assists. He has helped Nuno Espirito Santo’s side secure European football for next season.
Instead of going out and buying Hudson-Odoi from Forest, United could instead offer Antony in exchange, seeing as they have the need to offload the Brazilian. In turn, United would secure one of their summer targets, and Forest would get a worthy replacement for Hudson-Odoi, who has been important for them this season.
Antony hasn’t been linked with a move to any Premier League club, he has instead been linked with the likes of Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Barcelona.
