Antony

Man United are edging closer to bringing in the Brazilian winger before the end of the summer transfer window.

Leading the line, if fit, has to be Anthony Martial at this stage. Rashford prefers that position more to his England teammate and he perhaps edges Sancho out for the starting place but this could be interchangeable. His midfield partner is up for debate still, however Christian Eriksen has done well after being overawed at Brentford so probably deserves to keep his place - Scott McTominay and Fred will be pushing all the way for a start though. On Friday, Antony slammed his current club for blocking his move to Old Trafford due to how late it has come in the window.

Martinez is a bit more experienced and you look at Antony and you go, he's got great potential, let's see what he can do.' 'You look at Grealish last year, he wasn't the same Grealish that played at Aston Villa, so it can weigh heavy. Antony, he's coming in at £100million or roughly around that figure, [you hope] that he comes in and that doesn't weigh heavy on his neck. He said: 'It can be the price tag weighing heavy and the pressure and the attention of being under the spotlight, a new environment and club and culture that they're not used to, and a team setup that they're not used to. These new signings, Martinez coming in, he looks like he's not got a bit of pressure on him, it's like he hasn't seen the price tag the way he's moving at Man United.

Considering that they're one of the favorites in the completion, ten Hag does have a good shot at his first trophy before the end of the season if they can find consistency. Able to pass, shoot or take his defender on dribbling, he brings everything to the table that United hoped they were getting from Jadon Sancho. Being able to unleash them on tired legs will keep the pressure on the opposition to close out games. As ten Hag has coached Antony for the last two seasons, he knows what the winger can do best and will put him in the best position to succeed as he transitions to the Premier League. The team have shown signs as of late with victories over Liverpool and Southampton, and Antony could bring a lot to the attack despite the risk that comes along with his hefty price tag.

Sancho's saving grace could be that he has produced his best football in a United shirt so far from the left-flank. He will join United to strengthen the team first and foremost, not the squad. It is an astronomical sum of money that United are prepared to part with to sign the Brazilian, who was identified as manager Erik ten Hag's top target to strengthen his attacking options several months ago.
