Real Betis is on the verge of securing a loan agreement for Manchester United winger Antony. The deal, which is set to last until June, is currently being finalised with no option to buy included. Antony has expressed his willingness to make the move, and Manchester United has agreed to cover a portion of his salary during the loan period.
Antony’s Career and Playing Style
Antony, a 24-year-old Brazilian winger, joined Manchester United from Ajax in 2022. Known for his agility and flair on the field, he has been a key player in the attacking lineup. His style of play is characterised by quick dribbling, precise passing, and the ability to create scoring opportunities.
Recent Developments
In recent months, there has been significant interest in Antony from various clubs, as confirmed by his agent in December 2024. Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has been working to boost Antony’s confidence, praising his progress at the club. However, earlier in the season, Erik ten Hag emphasised the need for Antony to prove himself further.
Financial Aspects of the Deal
The loan agreement includes Manchester United covering part of Antony’s salary, which is a common practice in such deals to facilitate the player’s transition to a new club. This financial arrangement allows Real Betis to benefit from Antony’s skills without bearing the full cost of his wages.
