Manchester United transfer news RECAP Antony bid to be prepared and Cristiano Ronaldo latest

Fixtures in the Premier League continue to come thick and fast with the build-up firmly underway for Manchester United's next match away at Southampton.

Casemiro will be in line for a debut at St Mary's but will another Brazilian be joining him in Manchester? Antony appears to have his heart set on a move to United and a reunion with Erik ten Hag.

He did not feature against Sparta Rotterdam because he told his manager he was 'not 100 per cent' about playing. Antony's agent then posted a picture of himself and the Ajax star watching United against Liverpool before the content was deleted. United are interested in bringing in an attacking option and Antony is on their radar but will he be allowed to leave Amsterdam?

Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United remains in the balance. The Portuguese ace was benched for the visit of Liverpool on Monday night and after the game Bruno Fernandes appeared to drop a hint on his teammate's future. Despite his desire to leave, there appears to be a lack of clubs wanting to bring him on board.

Today's big talking point: Will Cristiano Ronaldo stay at United? Have your say here.
