Man Utd have offered Mason Mount and Antony to Barcelona in an attempt to offload the duo over the summer, according to reports.
There could be some big changes ahead at Old Trafford over the summer after Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed a deal to buy 27.7 per cent of the Premier League club from the Glazers earlier this year.
