An exit from Manchester United for Anthony looks no closer as Olympiacos are not considering signing the Brazilian star in January.
Antoni has not been in Ruben Amorim’s plans since the Portuguese arrived at Old Trafford in November from Sporting, having made just four Premier League appearances from the bench.
The former Ajax star was once again an unused substitute in Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the weekend and with the Manchester club needing to offload a few stars before new signings arrive, the 24-year-old is one of the names in their transfer list.

Olympiacos were a club linked with a move for Antoni, however, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on this transfer.
The transfer expert stated that the Greek giants do not consider Antoni a definite/possible option at this stage of the transfer window, despite an initial approach a few days ago. “Talks have not progressed both from the player’s side and from the club’s side,” making a transfer unlikely.
Newcastle had the opportunity to sign Anthony this month, while Real Betis have shown interest in the Brazilian star; However, it remains to be seen if another club will inquire about the winger.
Anthony has not worked at Manchester United
Antony arrived at Man United from Ajax in the summer of 2022 as part of a £86m dealwith the Brazilian star following Erik ten Haag to Old Trafford.
Having dazzled with the Eredivisie giants, the Dutch manager has been unable to replicate that magic in Manchester and the 24-year-old’s signing can be seen as a failure having managed just 12 goals and five assists in 94 Premier League appearances. .
Manchester United will struggle to offload Antoni during the current season and perhaps even in the summer, with the Red Devils taking a huge financial hit when the winger is eventually sold.
