Emenike kicks against Antony at Fenerbahce

Brazilian winger Antony has failed to justify his £86 million price tag since moving from Ajax to Manchester United in the summer of 2022, much so that the club is considering parting ways with him.

Reports emerged that he had been offered to Turkish club Fenerbahce, coached by Jose Mourinho, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano denied the claims.

Super Eagles legend Emmanuel Emenike reacted to the news, claiming he is not the type of player his former club needs and that they should sign players who are ready.

“Please no thank you. We need much better. Fenerbahce is not a school. We need ready players,” he wrote.

According to ESPN, the Brazilian’s signing is one Manchester United have accepted they overpaid for after scouts initially warned he is not worth more than £25mil, but they paid 60mil more.
