Newly appointed Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly eyeing a reunion with Manchester United winger Antony, following the Brazilian's impressive loan spell at Real Betis.
Antony's career at Old Trafford was nothing short of a disaster after a high-profile move from Ajax in 2022.
However, a loan move to Real Betis in January revitalised his form. Under Manuel Pellegrini, Antony played a key role in leading the Spanish side to the Europa Conference League final.

Ten Hag wants Antony
Antony was one of the first players to follow Ten Hag from Ajax to Manchester United in 2022.
Despite struggling to replicate his Dutch league form in England, German outlet Kicker reports that Ten Hag, now at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen, is keen to bring Antony to his third consecutive club.
Kicker also suggests that Ten Hag and Bayer Leverkusen may target another Manchester United forward, Alejandro Garnacho.

Reports indicate Garnacho has faced criticism for his attitude under manager Ruben Amorim, who has reportedly advised the young Argentine to seek a new club.
Ten Hag is looking to strengthen the Leverkusen squad for next season, particularly with Florian Wirtz expected to depart amidst interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The manager is also searching for a centre-back following Jonathan Tah's transfer to Bayern Munich.
