Antony has continued to be linked with a move away from Manchester United even after the English transfer window shut.
It has now been more than a week since the English window slammed shut but Manchester United continue to be linked with both incomings and outgoings.
The Red Devils have been linked to midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is yet to find a new club since becoming a free agent this summer.
United’s lack of midfield depth was exposed during the 3-0 loss to Liverpool, although £42m summer signing Manuel Ugarte is yet to be involved.
In terms of outgoings, Antony has been approached over a potential move to Turkey, while Newcastle United have shown interest in a January deal.
The Turkish transfer window remains open until Friday but fresh reports suggest that Antony will be staying put at Old Trafford.

Turkish Super Lig interest in Antony
Several Turkish clubs have shown an interest in signing Antony after his fall down the pecking order under Ten Hag. His only appearance so far this season was a one-minute cameo against Brighton.
Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce are one of the teams claimed to have shown interest, with the former United boss seemingly eager to try and revitalise Antony’s career, The Sun reported.
However, Manchester Evening News have revealed Fenerbahce’s stance on signing Antony and it suggests that there will not be any late transfer drama.
They state that Fenerbahce have no interest in signing Antony despite conflicting reports. It adds that Mourinho has no interest in bringing Antony to Turkey.
ESPN also claim Antony has little interest in a move away from United and wants to fight for his place, backing up United In Focus’ story last week.
Man United need to find Antony solution
It seems that a late move to Turkey is off the cards for Antony. However, United still need to find a solution for the 24-year-old as it seems there will be very few opportunities in the first team.
He has fallen behind Amad Diallo in Ten Hag’s pecking order and Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho provide fierce competition for spots out wide.
If Newcastle are willing to match United’s £40m price tag for Antony then that would be the best solution for all parties moving forward, but a January deal seems unlikely.
If Antony is happy to be an option off the bench then he could be good to keep around for cup and European competitions, but it is hard to see him ever working his way up to be a starter in the Premier League.
Even with Jadon Sancho leaving to join Chelsea on deadline day, United have plenty of quality out wide and Ineos are also eyeing a new winger signing in 2025.
