MANCHESTER: Real Betis are in the process of reaching an agreement with Manchester United for a loan move for Antony.
The Brazilian has never started for United in the Premier League this season, but has often been brought on as a substitute by Ruben Amorim.
The deal with Betis is expected to become a reality with United ready to cover part of Antony’s salary which reaches 200,000 pounds per week.
The loan will expire in June 2025 without an option to purchase.
Earlier this month, Olympiacos also expressed interest in loaning the winger, but Antony did not want to play for the Greek club.
Erik ten Hag made Antony, his former player at Ajax, one of his main purchases at Old Trafford in 2022, but it has not panned out as expected.
In seven Premier League appearances this season, he has played just 129 minutes and scored one goal in all competitions – a penalty in a League Cup tie against Barnsley.
He has not scored a league goal since April 2024. In 95 appearances, Antony has only scored 12 goals.
