Manchester United winger Antony arrived in the summer of 2022 full of promise but he is now on the brink of leaving the club as one of their worst ever signings.

Lecce star Patrick Dorgu has been identified as a top target with talks underway to bring the Denmark international to Manchester. United have tabled an opening offer of £25million with Lecce valuing the 20-year-old at £33.6m. Elsewhere, United are close to offloading winger Antony who is set to join Real Betis on loan until the end of the season.

Manchester United are among the clubs to have made an enquiry to sign Lyon attacker Rayan Cherki in recent hours, according to reports from France. The Red Devils have reportedly approached Cherki’s representatives about a possible move to Old Trafford as they look to replace some of their attacking talent in the final days of the January transfer window.

Manchester United and Tottenham both enjoyed some much needed respite from their Premier League woes with victories in the Europa League on Thursday.
