Football star Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his opinion on Al Nassr’s recent signing of Manchester United’s Antony amid intense transfer rumours.

Since his £86 million move in the summer of 2022, Antony has struggled to break through at Manchester United. With a series of performances below expectations, the Brazilian has been the target of criticism and dubbed a “comedy player” by fans.

In a surprising development, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr have expressed an interest in signing Antony before the summer transfer window closes. According to Football Insider, the Saudi club turned its attention to the Brazilian after failing to reach an agreement with Barcelona for the player Raphinha. Al Nassr is looking for a new winger to reinforce its squad, while Manchester United would be willing to sell the 24-year-old player, even at a financial loss. Furthermore, the English club would be open to a loan move as long as Antony’s £100,000-a-week salary is covered.

Cristiano Ronaldo commented on Antony’s potential arrival at Al Nassr: “Antony is a player with a lot of talent and potential. Everyone faces challenges in their careers, but I believe he can find himself again and show his true worth at Al Nassr. I look forward to seeing what he can bring to our team.”

Since making his debut scoring a goal against Arsenal, Antony has struggled to impress at Manchester United, scoring just 11 goals in 82 appearances in all competitions. With this new opportunity at Al Nassr, the Brazilian may have the chance to revive his career alongside Ronaldo, in a scenario where both can shine.

Al Nassr fans are excited at the prospect of seeing Antony and Ronaldo playing together, hoping this combination can take the team to new heights in the Saudi Pro League.
