Loan offer for Anthony coming soon as Amorim becomes ruthless and link to ex-Arsenal awaits Liverpool stars

The European side have “decided” that they will “make a loan offer” for Manchester United striker Anthony in January, and the player’s and Ruben Amorim’s stance on the matter has been revealed in a report.

Anthony scored pitiful numbers: just 12 goals and five assists in 87 appearances for Manchester United. The Brazilian is yet to come close to justifying his steep £86m price tag (including add-ons).

Even Eric ten Hag – the manager who signed Anthony – became disillusioned with the winger in the latter stages of his tenure. Indeed, Anthony has played just five matches this season, totaling 155 minutes.

And according to the latest update of the Turkish outlet. DisputeNew boss Amorim takes a similar view.

It is stated that Amorim “does not consider” Antony a key member of his squad. Dispute He went on to say that Turkish giants Besiktas see an opportunity to sign the player they first had their eye on in the summer.

The loan approach has been welcomed by Besiktas, who are hoping to bounce back against Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the second half of the season thanks to an impressive January window.

Anthony is the player they are targeting and, encouragingly, Besiktas claim he is “positive about leaving the team to play more.”

If Anthony joins Besiktas, he will be meeting a handful of familiar faces.

The list includes former Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Paulista, as well as former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Other Besiktas stars who have previously played in the Premier League include Arthur Masuaku and Joao Mario (West Ham), Gedson Fernandes (Tottenham) and Milot Rashica (Norwich). Lazio legend Ciro Immobile is also on site.

The loan to Besiktas will do little to improve United’s spending power in January. It is also unlikely that Besiktas will accept the level of option/obligation to purchase Manchester United that it deems acceptable.

However, a loan to a club where Anthony will play regularly would give the Brazilian the chance to rediscover his form and put himself on display ahead of the summer.
