According to the British press, Matheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo met separately, suggesting coach Ruben Amorim to give Antony an additional chance to prove himself.
In the summer, 2025 witnessed a strong “surgery” in the MU squad after the 2024/25 season disaster. To revive the team, the Board of Directors recruited three rookies, Diego Leon, Matheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo.
In the opposite direction, the players are no longer as suitable as Marcus Rashford, who are pushed to Barcelona on the form of loan with the terms of purchase. Veterans like Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof left freely. The future of other names such as Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia is also a big question mark. In the immediate future, they will have to live in a different time compared to the first team.
But while Garnacho, Sancho almost the future at Old Trafford, Antony could “reborn” thanks to CunHa and Mbeumo. According to the Daily Mail, two rookies Cunha and Mbeumo believe that Antony deserves to be given more opportunities. Both believe that the Brazilian striker will match the system of Amorim coach.
Antony also contracted with MU until June 2027. He spent the second half of the 2024/25 season in the form of loan at Real Betis and impressed. The former Ajax player scored 9 goals and had 5 assists after 26 appearances. Even so, it is unclear whether Antony wants to stay at Old Trafford and cooperates with Amorim.
The final decision is now in the hands of coach Amorim. Perhaps, due to MU difficult in recruiting a classy center, pushing Mbeumo to the center as in the Everton 2-2 draw with Amad Diallo could not constantly manage the right wing, Amorim will consider Antony.
