According to sources, the new Man United head coach is planning to make some big decisions. He has identified that Christian Eriksen and Antony are one of the highest earners at the club. And Ruben Amorim could let them go during the upcoming Winter transfer window. As it will increase his budget for Old Trafford reinforcements in the near future.
The Portuguese manager has set his sights on making changes to the team he inherited from Erik Ten Hag. Despite of the **Red Devils**‘ summer spending spree, which included the most costly acquisition, Leny Yoro who completed a £58.9 million transfer from Lille. United are still struggling mid season and currently at the 13th place in the Premier League table.
Man United open to sell Antony and Eriksen
According to GMS sources, Manchester United is willing to transfer players from their present team. As they want to increase their winter budget. So, Amorim and the important decision-makers have identified Eriksen and Antony as the perfect target for the cause.
At Old Trafford, the duo have contracts that allow them to earn a combined £350,000 per week. It is understood behind the scenes that letting them go would relieve some of the strain on the wage bill. And will also free up additional funds to bring in possible replacements halfway through the season.
Amorim’s long-term plans at Manchester United do not include Eriksen, who could become a free agent in the summer. And on the other hand, Antony has not been able to satisfy the club with his performances since joining the.

And Man United is supporting the new manager’s decisions with full strength. As the club is considering to authorize Eriksen and Antony’s departures. Because it would allow Amorim to bolster the team. This suggests that there is a greater chance that the unpopular pair will leave in the early months of 2025.
Author’s opinion :
Football.Express says selling the two will be a good decision by the management. As the Danish midfielder is on the other side of his 30’s. On the other hand, the Brazilian winger is not performing at the top level ever since joining them. The money that the club will get after selling the two will help them to bring in a marksman to score more goals.
