Manchester United winger Antony reportedly dismisses rumours of a potential late loan move to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig.

Manchester United winger Antony has dismissed rumours of a potential late loan move to Turkish club Fenerbahce, according to a report.

The Brazil international has struggled to establish himself since his £86m transfer from Ajax, where he chose to reunite with his former boss Erik ten Hag in Manchester in 2022.

Since arriving in England, the 24-year-old has managed just five Premier League goals in 55 appearances and has featured only once for the Red Devils off the bench this season.

There was widespread speculation that United were looking to get the 24-year-old off their books this summer, with some publications even claiming that the club were willing to slash their asking price to £25m.

Antony fully committed to Man United

Although a transfer for Antony did not come to fruition before the end of the English transfer window, reports suggest that Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce remain interested in his services and could make a move for his signature before the Turkish League deadline on September 13.

However, The Mirror claim that there is 'no truth' to the speculation linking Antony with a move to Turkey, as the player has 'no intention' of leaving Manchester United this summer.

The report adds that the winger, who has three years remaining on his contract, is 'fully committed' to the project at Old Trafford, a stance consistently maintained by his representatives.

Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso said: "I see reports about a potential exit on loan. Antony's plan is clear: Manchester United. He wants to stay, he's only focused on Man United. We already spoke about that with the club."

The Brazilian made an incredible start to life in Manchester, scoring against Arsenal, Manchester City and Everton in his first three matches for the Red Devils, but then went through a dry spell, netting only one more goal in his debut season.

Ten Hag backs Antony to succeed

Earlier this summer, Man United boss Erik ten Hag was asked for his view on Antony's future, to which he admitted that he felt the Brazilian had not matched expectations so far, but still maintains the belief that the winger will be a success for the club.

"I don't go over the budget. I've never even had a budget. At United, the budgets lie with the owners and management. He [Antony] certainly showed that potential in the first month: he scored three times in his first three games."

He added: "After that it became more difficult, last season was not good. But I am still convinced that he has the potential to play at this club."

Antony's dip in form has also led to him being left out of head coach Dorival Junior's squad for Brazil's World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay this month.
