EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United are poised to send three forwards out on loan despite Erik ten Hag’s desire to sign a new attacker this summer, reports say.
The new Manchester United boss has a keen interest in Antony, who sparkled under the 52-year-old at Ajax last term. However, any deal for the Brazil international currently looks complex due to the Eredivisie giants’ big demands.
According to Forbes, United are primed to send the likes of Tahith Chong, Amad and Facundo Pellistri on loan again for the second season in a row.
Chong spent the first half of last season on loan at Club Brugge in Belgium but, in January, was then moved onto Birmingham instead.
The 22-year-old had his moments at St Andrew’s and, now, is set to spend another year away from Old Trafford to enhance his development.
Regarding Amad, big things were expected of the forward when he moved to Old Trafford from Atalanta back in January last year.
However, the Ivory Coast international has often struggled for game time during his time at the club.
The arrival of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund last summer saw United, in the New Year, send Amad to Rangers.
But though he caught the eye with some stirring performances at first, he wasn’t always selected by Giovanni van Bronckhorst during his spell at Ibrox.
Former Rangers star Alan Hutton did recently say, however, that Amad should spend another year in the Scottish Premiership to boost his chances of being a superstar in the future.
He told Football Insider: “I don’t think he reached the heights that a lot of people were expecting.
“I’m not going to lie I thought he’d have more of an impact, so I did feel for him.
“He’s obviously come from a big club, and there’s no doubting his talent and we did see it in flashes.
