I mean I don't know why you're angry at the guy but Betis are paying 85% of Antony's salary (200k p/w per capology).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...n-rest-season-200k-week-wages-LaLiga-pay.html (athletic also reported this, too lazy to look for the link)

Everyone knows United are in chaos and their current form isn't reflective of the player's ability to fit into a settled system. I'm also fairly certain that if we loaned out ZZ for whatever reason, people will happily pay 105k p/w for him. Loan deals are much cheaper and lower risk for clubs to execute than a full transfer. Age / potential is also on his side. If we have to sell him, then we'll be taking a bit of a haircut but that's somewhat expected for signings that don't work out.

I think the more productive thing is to make sure we're paying incoming players appropriate wages and everything said and done if a broke Italian club was ready to pay him 95k p/w, signing him for 105k p/w from the PL is not a significant overpay.

My position ultimately is that he's fine to have in a squad in a rotation / backup role and that's what I'd calibrate my expectations to when judging his performances.

Capology is wrong, and a pretty shit source to use for player wages. They will have basically used the Daily Mail as their source, so it's just a vicious circle of misinformation.

Whitwell at The Athletic reported that Antony is probably on closer to £120k pw. It's the only plausible reason why Betis could afford to pay 85% of his wages.

It seems like 140k p/w https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6090868/2025/01/27/antony-manchester-united-loan-exit-95m/

But the point still stands right? They're paying anywhere between 100-120k p/w for Antony and that level of wage isn't a stumbling block especially on low-risk loan deals. I'm quite confident clubs would pay 100k pw to loan ZZ and won't demand we subsidize 50% of his wage.

Yes they are and hes playing well for them. Do you think they can afford 105k for Zirkzee too? else its not relevant. They took a chance on Antony and now will be out of the running for players on 105k

If Morata and Juve still want him this summer, we should negotiate a deal. He's just not working in a United shirt for me. We cannot have strikers/forwards who do not score goals - it's just not acceptable.

Is it okay I want to keep players I enjoy watching?

After all football is an entertainment and a hobby to me. Players like Zirkzee and Garnacho are still players I find enjoyable to watch.

I'm in the same boat. Zirkzee is the only thing worth watching when it comes to United now that Amad is out.

100% in favour of keeping him.
