Antony U-turn demanded by senior Man United stars
Manchester United are in the process of moving on quite a few big-name players but one of them has received unequivocal backing from his teammates. Marcus Rashford has already departed to join Barcelona on loan, while INEOS are trying to move on Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony. The Brazilian enjoyed a fantastic campaign out on loan with Real Betis, scoring almost as many goals in half-a-season as he has managed in over two campaigns at Old Trafford. His form has attracted plenty of suitors, both in the Premier League and abroad, but the ex-Ajax ace is keen to move back to Betis, where he is guaranteed to be a starter. Antony was on fire last season So far, a deal has not materialised due to United's demands and the Spanish side's financial situation. And as per Ben Jacobs, new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo along with other senior stars want Ruben Amorim to reintegrate him into the squad. 'There's actually even a feeling from Cunha and Mbeumo, and from other senior United players, that Antony is a good fit in this system, even though the expectation is still that the player wants to drive a move away,' the journalist was quoted as saying by Teamtalk. Cunha will know the left-footed attacker well from his time with the national team. So his comments might make sense. But how much Mbeumo knows is not clear, with the pair never having played together. And since their signings, Antony has not even trained with the first team. Senior players want him to stay It is true that the 25-year-old was on fire last season for Real Betis, but he has struggled massively for United, even under Erik ten Hag. And with Amorim preferring a 3-4-3 formation, there is not much space for the Brazil international. The only option could be to play him as a wingback, something the player might not prefer. And despite this claim, it is likely he will depart this summer. Hopefully, for INEOS' sake, it will be on a permanent basis instead of on loan. Follow us on Bluesky: @

Cost of Man Utd bomb squad laid bare as Sir Jim Ratcliffe faces up to £213m reality check
Manchester United have worked on finding moves for five players who wanted out of Old Trafford, but it's set to result in hefty losses in the transfer market Manchester United face a harsh reality as the club work on shipping out the players who wish to leave the club this summer. Manager Ruben Amorim left five first-team stars out of his pre-season plans ahead of Marcus Rashford 's loan move to Barcelona, having been informed that Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia also wanted to exit. Recouping money from the so-called 'bomb squad' could bolster United's transfer plans. Yet, the Red Devils have reportedly lowered several of their valuations since the transfer window first opened, which will not be welcome news to United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Rashford has sealed his season-long loan move to Barcelona, who have a £26million option to make his stay at the Camp Nou permanent. That is a significant drop from United's reported £100m valuation last April and is even less than the £40m price given to Aston Villa. However, United slashing Rashford's past valuation by £74m is only a fraction of the total £213m United could lose as the club attempt to part with their wantaway players. Garnacho is another player whose price has dropped significantly since the start of the summer. The Argentine winger, who was linked with Chelsea and Napoli, was initially said to be worth £70m. However, United have since almost halved their asking price to £40m. This would represent a £30m difference in what United were expecting to receive from selling the talented 21-year-old, who scored 11 goals across all competitions. The writing appeared to be on the wall following Garnacho's reaction to being named on the bench for the Europa League final last season. In the aftermath, Garnacho said: "Up until the final I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know. The final will influence [my decision] but the whole season, the situation of the club. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens afterwards." Antony's productive loan spell at Real Betis last term would have boosted United's hopes of recouping a significant portion of the £82m that they paid Ajax three years ago. The Red Devils quoted around £40m for Betis to sign the winger permanently, having scored nine goals and provided five assists in 26 appearances for the club. The price was deemed too high for Betis, though Antony's valuation has remained around that mark. That would see United take a huge £42m hit on the Brazil international. Sancho is another high-profile signing who has never lived up to expectations at Old Trafford. There was plenty of fanfare when the England winger arrived for £73m in 2021 on the back of his sensational spell at Borussia Dortmund. However, Sancho failed to replicate that form for United before a fallout with ex-manager Erik ten Hag led to him being exiled from the squad in 2023. A brief return to Dortmund and a subsequent loan spell at Chelsea failed to prompt a permanent move. Football Italia has since reported that Juventus have made a £15m offer for Sancho, who is in the final year of his contract. This would be £58m less than his original transfer fee. Meanwhile, full-back Malacia has endured a torrid time with injuries since arriving at United as a £13m signing from Feyenoord in 2022. He spent time on loan at PSV Eindhoven last season, who decided against a permanent deal, and Manchester Evening News has reported that the club need to bank £3.22m to avoid suffering a loss under PSR rules. However, it would be over £9m less than his initial price. Despite the financial hits that the club could take in the transfer market, United boss Amorim has insisted that he would welcome the players back into the fold if no deal can be finalised. 'There are different reasons for the players [left behind],' he said. 'Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team and other players clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams. We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide. If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team because they are our players. 'I know for a fact, these people, Jason [Wilcox, technical director], Omar [Berrada, chief executive] and the club have a number for these players. If they don't reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that. 'I understand the clubs are waiting for the last minute but they can have a surprise. I'm ready to receive the players, they have more competition, more competition if you want to play in the World Cup next year, so you need to play. I'm really happy with that because I have more options. If they have to fight each other to play one game a week, for me it's perfect.'

Nuns arrest: Kerala BJP leader meets Chhattisgarh Dy CM, says things will be clear soon
Raipur/Thiruvananthapuram: Days after the Chhattisgarh Police arrested three persons, including two nuns, on charges of trafficking and forcibly converting three tribal women, Kerala BJP General Secretary Anoop Antony on Tuesday met Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma over the issue. After the meeting, Antony said he had a fruitful meeting with Dy CM Sharma, who also holds the Home portfolio. 'It should be clearly understood that the Anti-Conversion Law in Chhattisgarh is very strict, which became law when the Congress ruled the state,' said Antony. 'A lot of misinformation about this incident is being propagated. It would be nice if people tried to understand the correct picture in Chhattisgarh. It should be understood that there are very areas where tribals reside. Also, there are places where the presence of Maoists is very strong,' said Antony. 'At the meeting, Sharma has promised all help. They have sought legal advice, and the law will take its course. What the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh said was based on the FIR. A detailed probe will be there,' added Antony, who further pointed out that three Chhattisgarh women hail from the area where Maoists have had a foothold, and where even the land records do not exist. The nuns, Preeti Mary and Vandana Francis, attached to the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate, a congregation under the Syro-Malabar Church in Alappuzha district, were working at a hospital in Agra. On Saturday, the two nuns and the man, identified as Sukhman Mandavi, were accompanying the three women from Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district to Agra, Uttar Pradesh, where they had been offered jobs as kitchen helpers at a Convent. While they were waiting at the Chhattisgarh railway station, they were stopped by Bajrang Dal activists, and the police also arrived on the scene. Both the nuns and the man were taken into custody and later produced before a local court, which sent them to judicial custody. Soon this became a big issue in Kerala, and on Tuesday, a three-member team of Kerala Lok Sabha members -- Benny Behanan, N.K. Premachandran and Francis George reached Chhattisgarh. 'We are going to the jail where the nuns are put up. We will also meet with officials to find out everything,' said Behanan. Premachandran said all that has happened is with the knowledge of the state administration, while George said it's surprising that baseless charges of human trafficking and conversion are being spread. Father Sabu Joseph, attached to the Raipur diocese, said, "Let the authorities find out what these sisters are doing there. Anyone knowing a nun's job will understand what they have done and what they are doing.' Meanwhile, the Church leaders are contemplating to move a bail plea for the two arrested nuns.
