According to UOL, United now value Antony at around £50 million ($67m) despite previously reportedly preparing to lower their price tag to £20-30m ($27m-$40m) to sell him. This is in light of receiving enquiries from RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, Brighton and Newcastle United, and Real Betis – where he had a successful loan spell earlier this year.

The report adds that the 25-year-old is in no hurry to sort his future, with the ex-Ajax man wanting a move made with a lot of 'certainty and conviction'. Antony has gone from a player whom United were prepared to take a huge loss on their original £86m ($115m) to one who has options at his disposal.
DID YOU KNOW?
Antony, who still has two years left on his United contract but does not appear to have a future at the club, scored nine goals and added five assists in 26 games while on loan at Betis in the second half of last season.
AFPWHAT NEXT?
It remains to be seen if these rumours are true and if United can afford to raise Antony's price tag this summer. The Brazil international is certainly said to be keen on making a fresh start away from Old Trafford.
