Man Utd double deal for £138m duo now 'realistic' at Old Trafford

Manchester United signing both Christian Pulisic and Antony before the transfer window closes is “realistic”, believes Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.

The Red Devils are currently focusing on landing the latter, but Sheth thinks the former moving to Old Trafford this summer is also a possibility amid the club’s interest in the Chelsea star.

Earlier this month, The Athletic reported that United are considering making a move for Pulisic.

According to the outlet, the Manchester club are interested in doing a loan deal, which could benefit the Chelsea attacker. The USA international, who will be desperate for game time with the World Cup coming up, was named as a substitute in the Blues’ first three matches of the season.

In regards to Antony, United are looking to conclude a very expensive permanent deal for the Ajax winger.

A report from the Daily Mail claims that Antony is confident that he will complete an £80m switch to Old Trafford before next week’s deadline.

Sheth thinks United bringing Pulisic in on loan and signing Antony permanently is certainly possible.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the Sky Sports reporter said: “If you’re going for Christian Pulisic on a loan deal and Antony on a permanent deal, just the figures there, you’re just talking about wages and a small loan fee.

“Potentially, that is a kind of double deal that could be a realistic one. But that will all depend on the player and on Chelsea as well.”

Pulisic on loan sounds like a much better deal than buying Antony for £80m. The 23-year-old already knows the Premier League and has proven he can deliver in the biggest games.

Since arriving at Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in a £58m deal, Pulisic has scored against the likes of Manchester City,
