Antony’s Manchester United nightmare is over, for the time being, as the Brazilian winger is set to join Real Betis on loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
There were suggestions Ruben Amorim had been delaying his proposed loan move to Betis until United signed a replacement for the out-of-favour Brazilian winger. Antony had agreed on personal terms with Betis over a loan move to the Estadio Benito Villamarin until the end of the season, where he’ll be determined to reignite his stagnating career.
The 24-year-old has faltered since making an £86 million move to Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, unable to live up to expectations nor rid himself of the label of the club’s worst-ever transfer decision. He has made just eight Premier League appearances this season, and none have come as a starter, sitting on the outskirts of United’s first team since Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag in November, and all parties desire an exit, given how disappointing his signing has been.
