**Manchester, England –** Following mixed results from their recent Eredivisie signings, Manchester United are reportedly eyeing PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko as a potential replacement for the struggling Antony. While the club’s previous acquisition of Antony for over £80 million proved costly and ultimately unsuccessful, sources suggest United are not shying away from the Dutch league.

The 21-year-old Belgian international has impressed this season, contributing five goals and three assists for PSV, including a standout performance in their recent Champions League comeback victory against Shakhtar Donetsk. Bakayoko’s impressive goal-scoring record from last season (14 goals and 14 assists) further bolsters his credentials.

With Facundo Pellistri sold and Jadon Sancho’s departure seemingly imminent, along with Antony’s uncertain future, United are actively seeking a new winger. Reports from a year ago suggest United have been monitoring Bakayoko, and his skillset and potential fit within new manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical system will now be closely assessed.

However, the club’s previous high-spending on Antony could lead to inflated transfer fees from Dutch clubs. Despite this potential hurdle, at the right price, Bakayoko is considered a potentially shrewd addition and a significant upgrade on their current struggling winger. His contract runs until 2027.
