The Sun reports that Man United scouts have pencilled Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo as a potential Antony replacement.
Since his much-anticipated £86 million arrival from Ajax last summer, Antony has struggled to make a real impact at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian has managed just eight goals in 62 appearances for United thus far. He has yet to register a single-goal contribution in 18 games this term.
It is believed scouts have already attended seven games involving Kubo this season, including his Man of the Match performance in their 0-0 draw against Real Betis on Sunday.
United appear keen on making a deal happen. The report also suggests the Reds could offer Antony to Sociedad on loan as part of a potential agreement to sign Kubo.
It is understood they would also accept a fee in the region of £43 million for the winger.
Kubo has scored seven goals in 27 appearances for club and country this season. He is viewed as one of Sociedad's best players following his £5.5 million move from Los Blancos last summer.
