Antony's agent denies Manchester United exit rumors amid links with Flamengo move
Antony has failed to establish himself since his last summer move
The media has been associating Manchester United’s Antony with a move to Flamengo as a swap for Gabriel Barbosa, the winger who plays for United.
The Brazilian club’s vice chairman has stepped forth to deny speculations that the two Brazilians could be traded.
Although the Brazil international Antony paid over £85 million to go from Ajax to Manchester United in 2022, his professional life has not flourished in England.
Despite just scoring eight goals in his 55 games with the Red Devils thus far, the 23-year-old forward has found it difficult to contribute.

Gabriel Barbosa, a flamengo star, had a disastrous childhood trip to Europe but has since seen immense popularity back in his homeland. One of the best forwards in Brazilian football, he has contributed 139 goals in 246 games with the team.
This season, Manchester United has mostly faltered offensively, with Rasmus Hojlund, a recent acquisition, still getting used to his new surroundings and Marcus Rashford out of form. The team has been connected to offensive reinforcement because they have struggled to score goals this year.
Flamengo vice president Marco Braz told SportWitness that there was no way his team would approve a trade for their star forward, Barbosa. The adaptable 27-year-old is in talks to negotiate as he approaches the last year of his contract with the team.
Flamengo would not be keen on any sort of trade with the Red Devils since they place a great value on their star. Since departing Brazil, Antony has not been around for very long, and the forward is unlikely to be overly excited to leave Europe before leaving his mark.
