Antony is seeking to leave Manchester United as the club aims to sign Eberechi Eze in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to reports.

**Kane Inspired by Ronaldo and Hungry for More Ahead of 100th England Cap**

As England’s Harry Kane prepares to reach a significant milestone with his 100th cap, the Tottenham Hotspur striker has expressed his pride and inspiration drawn from footballing legends like Cristiano Ronaldo. Kane, who has been a pivotal figure for the Three Lions, is eager to continue his journey and add to his impressive tally of international appearances.

In transfer news, Manchester United winger Antony is reportedly seeking a loan move away from Old Trafford, with speculation suggesting he may have already played his final game for the club. According to The Sun, Fenerbahce, managed by former United boss Jose Mourinho, is leading the charge to secure the Brazilian’s services. With the Turkish transfer window still open, a deal could materialise before the deadline.

The Sun further reports that Antony’s former club Ajax is keeping a close eye on the situation, alongside clubs from Spain, France, and Saudi Arabia. The player has made it clear to Manchester United that he wishes to depart, and the club is reportedly keen to facilitate a loan arrangement. While the Turkish window remains open until Friday, any permanent transfer is expected to be postponed until next summer.

Antony joined the Red Devils for a hefty £85.5 million two years ago, signing a five-year contract worth an estimated £200,000 per week. However, his time at United has been far from smooth, with the winger managing just a single minute of Premier League action this season.

**United Eye Eze as Potential Target**

With Antony potentially on his way out, Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze as a summer target. The England international has also caught the attention of rivals Manchester City, making him a sought-after player in the upcoming transfer window.

In addition to bolstering their attacking options, United are keen to strengthen their defence and midfield. The Manchester Evening News has identified Eze as one of the forwards on their radar. Furthermore, United are expected to continue their pursuit of Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, having had two bids of £43 million and £50 million rejected during the summer transfer window.

Branthwaite is valued at between £70 million and £80 million by Everton, and there was surprise at Goodison Park when United swiftly agreed to a €70 million deal for fellow centre-back Leny Yoro from Lille. Both Eze and Branthwaite are under contract until 2027, with Eze possessing a release clause of £68 million that can be activated next year.

With Jadon Sancho’s recent loan move to Chelsea, United now have four wingers, including Alejandro Garnacho and Amad, both of whom are still developing. Marcus Rashford has struggled for form over the past year, while Antony’s only appearance this season came as a late substitute against Brighton.

**Pochettino Set for USMNT Role**

In managerial news, Mauricio Pochettino is on the verge of being appointed as the head coach of the US men’s national team, according to the Daily Mail. The Argentine has been considering his options since parting ways with Chelsea in the summer, and the opportunity to lead the US team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, is a tempting prospect.

The Mail notes that if Pochettino is confirmed as the USMNT manager, it would mean that both Chelsea’s men’s and women’s first-team managers from last season would now be in charge of the senior national teams, following Emma Hayes’ appointment.

Pochettino, who has extensive club experience with Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain, has yet to manage at the international level. The selection of the next USMNT manager is viewed as a crucial decision, especially with the United States set to host every match from the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. Given the rarity of hosting the tournament—having last done so in 1994—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the players involved.
