Manchester United have reportedly identified a replacement for winger Antony, who has struggled since moving to the Premier League.
The Brazilian joined the Red Devils from Dutch giants Ajax last season in a big deal reportedly worth £85.5million.

However, Antony has found it tough to make his mark in English football and has only provided eight goals and three assists in 62 appearances under Erik ten Hag.
Reports claim that Ten Hag has begun looking for a potential replacement, with Real Sociedad's Takfusa Kubo high on the light of targets.
The Japanese midfielder has made a name for himself at Sociedad since leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season in a permanent deal.
The 22-year-old has registered six goals and three assists in 17 LaLiga appearances this campaign, making him one of the standout players.
According to the Sun, the Red Devils have sent scouts to go watch the Japanese midfielder on seven occasions this campaign.
Serie A champions Napoli were reportedly keen on the player's services in the last transfer window, but the offer was rejected.
The report does add that United could offer Antony as part of the deal to sign the 22-year-old who would cost around £43million.
