Snatched at a high price from Ajax Amsterdam by Manchester United, Antony never really managed to justify the 100 million euros paid by the Red Devils to secure his services. At the end of an unconvincing first exercise in England, the Brazilian winger is missing this season (no goals scored, no assists delivered in 10 appearances in all competitions). So much so that the Mancunian management considered a completely crazy exchange between his player and his Brazilian counterpart from Flamengo, Gabriel Barbosa.
The rumor of Antony’s possible transfer to the Brazilian club went around the world, forcing its representatives to speak out. According to Daily Express, Antony’s agent brushed aside this option, declaring no contact had been initiated. Asked about this by the Brazilian media O’GloboFlamengo vice-president Marco Braz also indicated that there was no “no chance” that the deal is accepted.
