According to a report by TBR, Flamengo are interested in signing Antony from Manchester United. It also states that the Premier League club are considering including Brazilian teenage winger Lorran as part of the deal to bring him to Old Trafford.
Lorran is an exciting talent
Lorran is a highly-rated talent to emerge from Flamengo in recent times. He made his senior team debut in 2022 and since then, he has taken huge strides. He holds the record as the youngest player ever to score for the Brazilian club.
Lorran showed his high potential last season in which he scored four goals and provided five assists in 37 games. His impressive displays have attracted interest from multiple clubs across the globe.
The Brazilian can play on the right wing, as a striker or even as an attacking midfielder. He is fast, has good strength, and does neat work in the tight spaces. With smooth dribbling skills and instinctive shooting, he is a talent to watch out for.
Antony is no longer wanted by Manchester United
Manchester United had broken the bank to sign Antony from Ajax on orders from the previous manager Erik Ten Hag. However, the investment didn’t work out as the player has been a complete failure at Old Trafford so far.
The Red Devils are even happy to offload him given they get a reasonable rate. However, there is a slim chance of any club matching the demands. Meanwhile, Flamengo expressed an interest in having Antony at their disposal.
While it will be tough for the Brazilian club to offer all-cash, both the parties could resort to exchange players to bring down the ultimate cash amount. From Manchester United’s point of view, they are considering demanding Lorran as they believe the youngster has immense potential. It will be interesting to see how this chapter unfolds in the coming months.
