Real Betis are closing in on a deal to sign Antony<\/a> on loan from Manchester United<\/a> for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Antony, 24, has fallen some way short of expectations in a United shirt since following Erik ten Hag from Ajax<\/a> for Old Trafford in an eye-watering \u00a382million move back in 2022.<\/p>\n

In that time, Antony has netted just five times in the Premier League<\/a>, while managing a total of 12 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

The out-of-favour winger has also failed to win over Ruben Amorim, starting just two games – against Bodo Glimt and Tottenham in the Europa League and Carabao Cup respectively – since the Portuguese’s appointment in November.<\/p>\n

There is a growing acceptance at the Theatre of Dreams that Antony’s move has not worked \u2013 and is unlikely to come good \u2013 and United have been pushing for the Brazilian to leave on loan before the January transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Olympiacos have been tentatively linked in recent weeks and teams from Turkey and the Saudi Pro League have also been credited with an interest, despite Antony’s nightmare two-and-a-half-year spell with United.<\/p>\n

However, La Liga outfit Real Betis have emerged as the clear frontrunners to land Antony and are closing in on a loan agreement for the former Ajax and Sao Paulo man, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s claimed Antony has ‘opened doors to the move’ and the final details are now being negotiated between all the parties, with no option clause currently included in the proposed deal.<\/p>\n

Romano adds that United have agreed to cover a portion of Antony’s salaryin Seville.<\/p>\n

Antony still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract with United will return to the north west in the summer, when his future is likely to be discussed again.<\/p>\n
