Antony’s agent Junior Pedroso has shut down rumours the Brazilian could leave Old Trafford on loan this summer.
The 24-year-old arrived at Manchester United in a big money move from Ajax said to be worth around £85.5m in 2022.
The Brazil international has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford and lost his place in the side towards the end of last season.
Antony’s agent dismisses talk of him leaving United

He made 38 appearances in all competitions last season and could only manage three goals and two assists, with just one of those goals coming in the Premier League.
