'We are talking' — Club president delivers positive update on Man Utd flop Antony

Manchester United are under pressure to offload players this summer to generate crucial funds. With Matheus Cunha already signed and Bryan Mbeumo’s arrival looking likely, focus must turn to sales and balancing the books.

United are expected to part ways with players like Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia, and Antony, among others.

Antony appears closest to the exit door, with a potential move to Real Betis gaining momentum.

Real Betis president Angel Haro has been vocal about their intent to secure the former Ajax winger permanently.

Antony, who scored nine goals and helped Betis reach the UEFA Conference League final during his loan spell, is nearing a deal, according to Haro. He told reporters, “We’re talking to the player because coming to Betis entails a considerable reduction in salary, because we have to maintain our financial discipline and we don’t want to break it.

"He’s a fantastic player; he’s given us a lot in the last six months, but we have to get everything right; we can’t go crazy.

"We’re working on that path because it’s not easy. We’re very imaginative when it comes to approaching this type of transaction, but it’s complex. It involves the player, who loves Betis, but he also has to consider his own interests.”
