Antony’s turbulent spell at Manchester United looks to be drawing to a close, with it reported that Real Betis have reached an agreement in principle to bring the winger back to Spain. The Brazilian has been frozen out under United boss Ruben Amorim, who wasted no time in signalling that the 25-year-old had no role in his long-term project at Old Trafford.
Manchester United outcast Antony has rejected transfer offers from Botafogo and his boyhood club, Sao Paulo. The winger has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer after falling out of favour with Ruben Amorim. Antony spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Real Betis, where he impressed by scoring nine goals.
Manchester United hope to avoid a 'doomsday scenario' as they look to swiftly get rid of four out-of-favour players before the summer transfer window winds down. Marcus Rashford is set to become the first unwanted man to leave as he closes in on joining La Liga champions Barcelona on a loan deal. United now want similar exits for the rest of their outcasts.
Five Manchester United players have put in transfer requests this summer as the Red Devils continue to rebuild their squad under Ruben Amorim. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have all indicated their desire to pursue opportunities elsewhere, throwing a curveball into United's pre-season plans.
