However, the forward has since failed to live up to expectations as he has only managed a mere 12 goals and five assists in 94 appearances with the Red Devils.
Antony struggled under former Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag, who helped him rise to prominence at Ajax beforehand.
And the Brazilian has also been unable to flip the switch under new boss Ruben Amorim.
That has led to only one goal in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, during which he has been unable to start a single Premier League game.
According to Sky Sports, the Manchester giants are keen to offload Antony and are discussing a potential loan deal with other clubs.
The same source claims teams from Spain and Greece have contacted United.
And Amorim’s side is willing to listen to offers for the ex-Ajax star in the January transfer window.
SunSport understands that Olympiacos are the Greek club who are interested in the player.

The Europa Conference League holders are rigorously looking for a new winger to add some spark to their attack.
This comes after the Piraeus outfit parted ways with former Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham ace Willian just three months after he signed as a free agent.
Antony stood out at Ajax where he amassed a total of 24 goals and 22 assists in 82 appearances.
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
Andre Onana – 7
Saved well from Alexis Mac Allister early on and looked strong on set-pieces – could do nothing about either goal and almost stopped Mo Salah’s penalty.
Another two saves right at the death helped his men earn a point.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Strong performance to help frustrate Liverpool and produced important interceptions and tackles to clear danger.
Matthijs de Ligt – 7
The Dutchman was another impressive member of the back three and seemed on a mission not to leave Anfield without a share of the spoils.
Harry Maguire – 7
Marshalled the defence well and won several big tackles and clearances.
Had his day spoiled by a yellow card for what looked to a be another great challenge and then blazed over right at the death.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Excellent alongside the rest of the back three and finished his strike like a seasoned striker.
Diogo Dalot – 7
Played on the front foot and was an attacking threat throughout but landed himself a booking for a needless and blatant foul on Mo Salah.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Great defensive and compact display as he got the better of his England rival Curtis Jones in front of Thomas Tuchel.
Was only taken off after United fell behind as his manager went more offensive.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Just got caught out of position and was punished for Cody Gakpo’s goal, which marred an otherwise hard-fought and disciplined display.
Amad Diallo – 7
Turning into a man capable of producing big moments after another crucial strike. Had messed up twice in two earlier attacks but took his goal superbly.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
The skipper was on top form for the Red Devils both defensively and with the ball.
Led his team well and fully deserved at least a point.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Came underfire for slack marking from Fernandes early doors then blew a big chance after beating the offside trap – a chance you NEED to take at Anfield.
Struggled to make much of an impact with the ball.
