In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 6-4 on penalties to advance to the next round. Brazilian winger Antony was included in the squad for the match but did not get the chance to play. This is also the second consecutive game he has been left out. Reports suggest that Manchester United have given the green light for the 24-year-old player to leave during the winter transfer window, with several European teams including West Ham United, Real Betis, and Marseille expressing interest in loaning him. West Ham United were the first club to officially express interest in Antony. They are looking to strengthen their attack by bringing in a player who can provide pace in the final third. The Hammers believe that this Brazilian player will fit well into Potter's tactical system, who has been searching for a winger capable of making an impact in the Premier League. On the other hand, Real Betis have shown great interest in signing the Brazilian and view Antony as an ideal choice to bolster their squad. Real Betis have been seeking to enhance their attacking power by bringing in internationally renowned players, and they see the former Ajax player as a luxurious reinforcement on the right wing. Antony's characteristics are very suitable for Pellegrini's tactical system; he is a left-footed player adept at playing on the right flank, with speed being his main advantage in overwhelming opponents' defenses. Meanwhile, Marseille has also shown interest in the Brazilian winger. The French club is looking for players who can make…

Inter Milan had previously achieved six consecutive victories against AC Milan, becoming their nemesis. However, in the two encounters this season, Inter Milan suffered defeats. Under the guidance of coach Fonseca, Milan managed to secure a dramatic victory over Inter. Meanwhile, under the leadership of Conceicao, Milan staged a remarkable comeback from a two-goal deficit, resulting in Inter's loss in the Italian Super Cup final. Following this setback, Inter Milan is in need of adjustments in both mentality and squad composition. On January 8th, renowned Italian journalist Di Marzio reported that Inter Milan has set a price tag on midfielder Francesco Acerbi, with the club hoping to receive a transfer fee of 45 million euros for him. Acerbi himself is keen on joining his former team, AS Roma. After Inter's failure to win the Italian Super Cup, Inter's correspondent Pasquale Guaro revealed that the relationship between head coach Simone Inzaghi and Acerbi has reached its lowest point, with Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma being potential destinations for the player. It is evident that Acerbi does not have consistent playing time at Inter, serving as a regular substitute. The club does not fully recognize his performance; otherwise, he would have been given a starting position. This season, Acerbi has made 22 appearances for Inter, starting in 8 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. Last season, he played in 42 games, starting in 11, with a record of 8 goals and 5 assists. Acerbi, a member of the Italian national team at just 25 years old, feels unappreciated at Inter.…

Dalian Yibo is set to introduce 29-year-old forward Wang Chengkui to their team, who once signed with Ajax and is worth looking forward to. According to domestic media reports, Wang Chengkui, who once played for Ajax, has already joined Dalian Yibo. Wang Chengkui will officially join Dalian Yibo in the future and take on the responsibility of leading the team's offense. Born in 1995, Wang Chengkui became famous at a young age in Chinese football and quickly gained the favor of the Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax after his debut. At that time, Ajax was very impressed with Wang Chengkui's abilities. Wang Chengkui won a formal contract with Ajax after a period of trial training. As a result, he became the first Chinese player to play for Ajax and received praise by name from veteran Dennis Bergkamp. It is worth mentioning that Wang Chengkui also represented Ajax's second team in the Dutch Football Second Division, winning recognition from many fans. Unfortunately, Wang Chengkui had a high start but low follow-through at Ajax, failing to carry the load. Later, Wang Chengkui returned to Chinese football and began playing for Shenzhen, securing a starting position and having some highlight moments with goals. However, over the past two seasons, Wang Chengkui has been playing in the China League One, encountering a bottleneck in his career. After joining Dalian Yibo in the future, Wang Chengkui is likely to start as a substitute. If Wang Chengkui can deliver convincing performances after coming off the bench, he can secure a starting spot. Looking at the quality of…

Manchester United's recruitment efforts over the past few seasons have not been particularly successful. Based on this season's performance, apart from the acquisitions of Bruno Fernandes (B fee) and Mazraoui achieving some success, other players such as Antony and Hojlund who cost nearly 100 million euros, as well as Ten Hag's former Ajax players like De Ligt, have not performed particularly well. Despite bringing in several players from the Eredivisie, specifically his former Ajax players, Ten Hag's "Dutch contingent" has not achieved success, and Amorim is not very satisfied with these players. In an interview, Amorin also expressed dissatisfaction with Manchester United's current squad, believing that they are not adaptable to his three-center-back system. It is certain that Manchester United will make personnel adjustments. According to information from The Mail, Manchester United views Porto striker Aguer and Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes as key targets for recruitment. Among them, the Portuguese defender previously worked with Amorin and now has less than 2 years left on his contract at PSG. If he does not renew his contract, PSG is willing to sell him. Whether Aguer and Nuno Mendes can adapt to Manchester United and Amorin's tactical system remains to be seen, but based on this news, Manchester United may really go from one extreme to another. It cannot be denied that every head coach has their own coaching style and recruitment tendencies, and it is completely understandable to prioritize their former players. However, completely negating previous recruitment achievements and making large-scale changes to the squad, even if it leads to success,…
