The Brazilian has struggled at United

Antony has reached an agreement with a new club to leave Manchester United.

The Brazilian winger has struggled in Manchester since his arrival from Ajax back in 2022 for a fee of around £86m.

This amount certainly raised eyebrows at the time, and weighed heavily on the shoulders of the Erik ten Hag favourite, who never really fulfilled his price tag.

Fans had some hope for Antony after the arrival of Ruben Amorim and his five back system, suggesting he might better fit a wingback role.

However, it has now been reported that Antony is set to join a new club as he has reached an agreement to leave Manchester United.

This comes as per a report by Fabrizio Romano who said that the 24-year-old from Sao Paulo has agreed every detail of the move.

The move is set to be just a loan deal until the end of the season.

The journalist wrote in a post on X: “Antony has agreed every detail of his move to Real Betis on loan until the end of the season.

“Manchester United and Betis are set to seal the deal this week with one final round of talks to agree on small details. Here we go, soon.”

Antony has made 96 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 12 goals and assisting 5 and has won the League Cup and the FA Cup with the club.

For Ajax he had 46 goal contributions in 82 games.
