The move comes as a strategic response to Nicolas Kühn’s recent knee injury, which has left the Scottish champions short of options on the right wing.

 

 

Antony, a skillful and dynamic attacker, could be the perfect addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad during the January transfer window. With his experience in top-tier competitions like the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, the 23-year-old winger would bring creativity and flair to Celtic’s attack, ensuring the Hoops remain competitive in both domestic and European campaigns.

 

 

The injury to Kühn, Celtic’s primary right-winger, has been a significant blow to the team’s depth. While interim solutions like Arne Engels have been explored, Rodgers is keen on bringing in an experienced player to fill the void until Kühn returns to full fitness. Antony’s potential loan spell would provide Celtic with a high-caliber alternative during this crucial phase of the season.

 

 

Manchester United may see this loan move as an opportunity for Antony to gain consistent playing time and regain form following a challenging period at Old Trafford. The Brazilian international could benefit from the attacking style of play in Scotland’s Premiership, potentially boosting his confidence and sharpness.

 

 

Reports indicate that negotiations between Celtic and Manchester United are in the early stages, with both clubs keen on reaching an agreement. The Hoops are expected to cover a portion of Antony’s wages, making the deal financially viable for both parties.
