In this January transfer window, Manchester United hopes offload their underperforming winger Antony. Following his high-profile transfer from Ajax, the Brazilian winger has had a challenging time at the club.

Erik ten Hag, the former manager, signed him, but he has never been able to establish himself at Old Trafford and deliver the consistency and calibre that were anticipated of him. La Liga giants, Real Betis has been linked to a deal for the player, and Ruben Amorim is now trying to let him depart the team this month.

The La Liga team asked Man United to cover the majority of Antony’s wages because he makes about £200,000 a week at the club. However, United did not desire such a transaction because they were also having financial difficulties.

When a player is not making any contributions to the squad, the Red Devils are hesitant to pay their compensation. Marca claims that Real Betis has now improved their offer for Antony, bringing it closer to what Manchester United has been requesting.

Real Betis makes an improved offer

The Premier League and La Liga teams have been in talks for a few days now, and they are optimistic that they will come to an agreement on the transfer. If a deal can be reached between the parties, the Brazilian would leave the club on loan this month.

United has only received a loan bid for the winger thus far, despite their desire to sell the player permanently and put an end to Antony’s terrible tenure at the team.

The sooner Man United gets rid of him, the better, as the player has not been able to replicate his Ajax form in the Premier League. He makes a lot of money, and the club would save a lot of money if he left.

In United’s most recent game, Antony entered as a halftime substitute against Southampton, and his error from point blank range encapsulated his tenure with the team.
