Manchester United wide forward Antony has completed a move to LaLiga club Real Betis on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old Brazil international signed for Manchester United from Ajax in August 2022 for £81.3m – the second most expensive player in the club’s history behind Paul Pogba.
He has however struggled at Old Trafford after a fine start, scoring 12 goals in 96 appearances for the club, and netting only once in the English Premier League since April 2023.
Reports quoting United sources say Real Betis will be covering a minimum of 84 percent of Antony’s salary, which is over £100,000 per week.
He remains under contract at Old Trafford until 2027.
“Everybody at United would like to wish Antony the best of luck for his spell in Seville,” Manchester United stated.
Antony started brightly under former United manager Erik ten Hag – also his previous boss at Ajax – by scoring three goals in his opening three league games.
However, after failing to live up to his transfer fee, Antony has struggled for first-team opportunities and this season has featured in just 13 of United’s 33 games in all competitions.
