Manchester United consider Anwar El Ghazi to replace Antony and Sancho

Manchester United have moved to add Dutch winger Anwar El Ghazi to their squad as a free agent, while uncertainty over Antony and Jadon Sancho continues.

El Ghazi left PSV Eindhoven by mutual agreement last week and, having become a free agent, will be able to join United even though the transfer window is closed. The 28-year-old, who also played for Ajax, Aston Villa and Everton, watched United lose to Arsenal at the Emirates in their final game before the international break.

El Ghazi is also known to have offers from Saudi Arabia, but United could give him the chance to return to the Premier League.

Manager Erik ten Hag is in serious trouble on the right wing after Antony was sidelined until further notice following allegations he assaulted three women, and Sancho’s future at Old Trafford has also been thrown into doubt following a disagreement. with his coach.

The fact that United are considering a shock move for El Ghazi underlines how seriously they are taking the situation of Antony and Sancho, who cost a combined £158m.

SANCHO AND TEN WITCHES MEET

Ten Hag met Sancho on Monday, the first time the two met since the player called his coach a liar on social media for saying he was left out of the Arsenal game because he had not trained well.

Sancho’s message, in which he also claimed that he was being made a scapegoat at United, remained constant on his account on Monday night.
