With Sir Jim Ratcliffe now in charge of proceedings at Manchester United, the future of the club seems to be heading in the right direction.
The new owner's first major task will be to identify the mistakes made over the past decade, with the lack of strategy in the transfer market being a standout issue.
From the likes of Jadon Sancho to Harry Maguire, United have become known for paying enormous fees for talent that haven’t been able to justify the money spent.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at one individual whose value has significantly dropped since signing under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, even now being worth far less than the struggling Antony.
Antony’s market value in 2024
After scoring on his debut against Arsenal following an £86m move from Ajax last summer, it seemed that United would have the right wing position secured for the foreseeable future.
However, his time in Manchester has been far from the dream destination it once was viewed as, with the Brazilian failing to score at all in the Premier League this season over 22 matches.
That said, the 24-year-old enjoyed his most memorable moment with the Red Devils badge on his chest in United’s most recent game, as he scored an 87th-minute equaliser in the victory over Liverpool, which could have just revived his career at the club.
Nonetheless, the number 21 is still estimated to be worth £52m by CIES Football Observatory, which makes him one of the most valuable players at Old Trafford, unlike one player who’s now one of the least valuable.

The exciting prospect has already made his mark on the first team.
This all but confirms the fact that his career at Man United is over, in what has been a disaster of a move for both Van de Beek and the club.
