Manchester United are reportedly interested in the potential transfer of Flamengo wonderkid Lorran as a potential replacement for flop signing Antony.
Antony has ended up being a huge disappointment at Man Utd, although he once looked like an exceptional talent when he was alongside Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
Now a report from Football TBR claims United are possibly willing to try and offload Antony to Flamengo in a bid to put 18-year-old attacking midfielder Lorran in his place.

The Red Devils need to be a little smarter with their recruitment after a difficult period post-Sir Alex Ferguson, with huge sums of money wasted on inferior performers such as Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho and Anthony
Can Man United finally get Lorran’s transfer deal right?
Lorran looks like the kind of emerging talent that MUFC need to sign before other top-flight clubs, with the Brazilian teenager sure to have a big future in the game.
Indeed, other clubs are already following him, with TBR Football adding that West Ham and Brighton are tracking the player, as well as European giants RB Leipzig, Marseille and Atalanta.
United will be hoping that they can now truly enter a new era under incoming manager Ruben Amorim, who will also be working under a new board with experienced football recruitment figures such as Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox.
Lorran certainly looks like the type of player these figures would have signed at their previous clubs, but it remains to be seen whether the same player will opt for a move to Old Trafford when he likes his chances of more game time somewhere like Brighton . or Leipzig.
