MANCHESTER UNITED flop Antony could be offered the chance to join Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce, according to reports.
The Brazilian winger, 24, has endured a nightmare two years at Old Trafford since arriving from Ajax for £85.5million.
Last season, he contributed just one goal and one assist in 29 Premier League games.
And his overall tally in all competitions since moving to England stands at 11 goals and five assists in 83 appearances.
Erik ten Hag has handed him just one minute of action in Man Utd’s opening three Premier League matches.
Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo are all ahead of him in the pecking order.

And while the transfer window has closed across most of Europe, it remains open in Turkey until September 13.
According to Sport Witness, Mourinho’s Fenerbahce are eyeing up a loan move for Antony.
They hope to have a deal finalised by Wednesday evening as they look to make the South American forward their latest signing.
Mourinho, who joined Fenerbahce in the summer, has already brought in the likes of Youssef En-Nesyri, Caglar Soyuncu and Allan Saint-Maximin.

And the addition of Antony could further his hopes of leading Fenerbahce to a first league title since 2014.
Meanwhile, their rivals Galatasaray have sealed a loan deal for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian forward, 25, failed to secure a transfer to Chelsea or Saudi Arabia on Deadline Day.
Now he is in Turkey as he joins the club on a temporary basis.
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
MANCHESTER UNITED had a horror show against Liverpool as they lost 3-0.
Casemiro was so bad he was taken off at half-time.
But were there any positive performances at Old Trafford?
Andre Onana – 5
Nothing he could do about any of Liverpool’s goals and made a few saves to prevent the scoreline from getting worse.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
Came close to scoring in the first half and looked solid enough against Diaz although he did push up too high before Liverpool’s opener.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Left Diaz and Domink Szobozslai in acres of space for the opening goal but was left in a tricky spot thanks to Casemiro’s error.
Booked for a shocking late tackle on Diaz.
Lisandro Martinez – 3
Lost Diaz for the second goal which meant the Colombian was able to score unmarked from the penalty spot.
Also guilty of giving away the ball too easily and was not tight enough with his marking.
Diogo Dalot – 4
Was caught out pushing up too quickly for the first goal and did not do enough to stop Mo Salah’s cross in the build-up to Liverpool’s second.
Looked dangerous in attack at times but too infrequently as he had plenty of defensive work to do since Rashford did not track Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Casemiro – 2
A horror show in the first half as he gave the ball away in the lead up to both of Liverpool’s goals.
He was caught on the ball for the second after a shocking misplaced pass left his defence vulnerable for the opening goal. Hooked at half-time.
Kobbie Mainoo – 4
Fell victim to the Casemiro curse as he was shrugged off the ball in a terrible position, allowing Liverpool to add a third with ease.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Was United’s most creative spark but that is not saying much. Tried to get his side going in the first half but looked short of ideas and inspiration after the break.
Alejandro Garnacho – 4
Still appears to be a little rusty and is yet to hit the heights he reached last season.
Marcus Rashford – 3
Nothing came off for the out-of-sorts forward who must be running out of chances before he is dropped.
Joshua Zirkzee – 4
Quiet up-front and had little influence on the wing as well, but missed a clear-cut chance with his head and should have turned in Rashford’s cross which he met at the far post.
Subs
Toby Collyer (for Casemiro, HT) – 5
A difficult game for the youngster to make his Premier League debut but he put himself about and won a few tackles.
Harry Maguire (for De Ligt, 69mins) – 5
Shored things up at the back as Liverpool took their foot off the pedal.
Amad (for Garnacho, 69mins) – 5
Provided a spark on the right and looked more lively than Garnacho.
Christian Eriksen (for Zirkzee, 86mins) – N/A
Not on long enough to make an impact.
