Why Man Utd have included a 'penalty clause' in Antony's Real Betis deal as £86m flop prepares to complete loan - explained

<p>The Brazilian will travel to Spain on Monday to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antony-man-utd-real-betis-loan-85m-flop-leave-old-trafford/bltaacac6b2b1c0dbc6" target="_blank">wrap up a temporary move</a> after Betis and United reached an agreement, with <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/betis/20250120/1002390633/pagara-betis-antony.html" target="_blank"><em>Mundo Deportivo</em></a> reporting that the Red Devils will cover a significant chunk of his wages and there is no option for a permanent move at the end of the season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>However, Betis have an incentive to ensure the 24-year-old gets a game for Manuel Pellegrini's side as they will have to pay a series of penalties should he fail to play 10 or more matches either as a starter or by at least finishing the second half, the report adds.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United are eager to see the ex-Ajax star play as many minutes as possible to boost his confidence and help generate interest in him in the summer transfer window. A big-money signing in 2022, he has failed to live up to the hype at Old Trafford and has been reduced to just eight appearances - totalling 135 minutes - in the Premier League this season.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Betis are in dire need of a new attacker amid their inconsistent campaign so far. They finished seventh in La Liga last season but are 12th in the table after 20 matches. They will hope that, with a point to prove amid his struggles, Antony can act as a key threat over the coming months after completing his transfer.</p>
