Manchester United may be looking for a new right winger in the summer after Erik Ten Hag’s initial effort at mending the difficulties on the right side did not go well.

Antony joined the club for about £86 million last summer, but the Brazilian has yet to make the effect that a player of that value should.

The Brazilian came off the bench in United’s win over Aston Villa, with Alejandro Garnacho shining on the right for the Red Devils, and he might be the man to start moving forward.

United’s pursuit of Bakayoko

According to SPORT1 writer Christopher Michel’s article on X, United are interested in PSV right-winger Johan Bakayoko, who might be a target for the Red Devils next summer.

If United decides to make a play for the winger, he may be available for as little as £35 million, but there may be some risk involved in signing yet another Eredivisie striker.

You have to wonder if Antony’s problems in the Premier League would make United wary of making another approach for a forward from the Dutch top flight.

However, with the winger available for less than half the price of Antony’s fairly excessive sum, a deal like this would present the Red Devils with a tiny degree of risk with the potential for the 20-year-old to explode onto the scene.
