Manchester United Accepts Transfer Proposal for Antony
Manchester United has reportedly accepted a transfer proposal from Real Betis concerning their player Antony, according to information from ESPN. The deal under consideration involves a permanent transfer that may amount to £25 million (approximately $34 million), with Manchester United also securing 50% of any future transfer fee for the winger.
Antony’s Loan and Negotiations
Antony, who previously enjoyed a fruitful loan period at Betis, has been granted the opportunity to negotiate personal terms with the Spanish club. However, sources suggest that an agreement is still pending as there are details that need to be finalized.
Conclusion of Antony’s Tenure at Manchester United
Should the transfer be confirmed, it will signify the conclusion of Antony’s challenging tenure at Manchester United, which has lasted three years. He was signed from Ajax by Erik ten Hag in 2022 for a hefty price of £86 million ($116 million), making him the second-highest signing in the club’s history, trailing only behind Paul Pogba.
Performance and Future Uncertainty
During his loan at Betis, the Brazilian winger found his form, netting nine goals in 26 appearances after arriving in January. However, upon returning to Manchester United this summer, Antony was not included in the squad for the preseason commitment in the United States and was instructed to train separately with other out-of-favor players, including Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, indicating the club’s shifting priorities and the player’s uncertain future at Old Trafford.
