Manchester United are set for a potential financial boost this summer as the transfer battle for on-loan winger Antony heats up. The Brazilian, currently impressing at Real Betis, has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and Juventus, with Villarreal also keen. Betis fear they may miss out on a permanent deal even if they qualify for the Champions League, while United are determined to sell rather than agree another loan.
The growing competition for Antony's signature could drive up his price tag, with MEN Sport suggesting United might even demand a higher fee than the £73m they received for Jadon Sancho in January. This would provide crucial funds for manager Ruben Amorim as he looks to rebuild his squad, especially if United secure Champions League football by winning the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap has emerged as a top target for Ineos, with reports indicating his preference to join United over Chelsea. The 22-year-old will be available for £30m following Ipswich's relegation. MEN Sport notes that Delap's north-west roots and previous stint in Manchester could give United an edge, though the club may still need additional firepower up front.
