Manchester United star Antony is now said to have decided his future at the club amid reports of a potential last-minute move to another team in Europe.
The 24-year-old has only one minute of action under his belt so far this season, after he came on in stoppage time during United's 2-0 defeat to Brighton Hove Albion on 24 August.

The Brazilian has seemingly fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, with the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo earning more minutes than he had on the flanks this season.
Reports suggested that Antony's future at United thus appeared uncertain after facing widespread criticism last season from pundits and United supporters alike.
These rumours have since been amplified by reports linking the player with a move to Fenerbahce, with the transfer window in Turkey remaining open until Friday, 13 September.
According to ESPN, however, a source close to Antony has claimed that the player has decided he wants to stay in Manchester and fight to feature more regularly, even if Jose Mourinho-managed Fenerbahce submit a formal bid for him before their deadline day.
Initial reports indicated that the English giants would have facilitated a loan move for the winger as there is also reported interest in him from his former club Ajax Amsterdam, along with teams in Spain, France and Saudi Arabia, but their respective windows are now all closed.
Antony joined United in August 2022, in a deal worth €95 million (R1.8 billion), from Ajax.
With his contract only set to expire in June 2027 and his reported wages of £200 000 a week at Old Trafford, a permanent departure may now only take place next season.
