Manchester United have now confirmed another big decision regarding winger Antony, who recently returned to the club following a leave of absence.
Manager Erik ten Hag has announced that the Brazilian, who recently returned to training following a leave of absence due to domestic abuse allegations made against him, could feature in the side's next UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday night, with a final call to be made shortly.

"Antony will be in consideration but yesterday was his first time back in team training. We have a final training, then we'll make a decision," the Dutchman said in a pre-match press conference, as per the Daily Mail.
"I think the team news is probably [just that] Antony dos Santos can return."
After spending several weeks in Brazil, the 23-year-old returned to England last week, and answered questions posed to him by police in Manchester.
"Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has co-operated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so," United said in a statement.
Three women came forward to accuse the player of assault, and it is believed that two of them had previously been in relationships with him.
One of the alleged victims has since reportedly withdrawn her complaint against the winger, while Antony has maintained his innocence throughout, insisting that he had done nothing wrong during an interview on Brazilian television.

United will be hoping the Brazilian's return to action will give them a boost after their 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash over the weekend.
