Manchester United going through a period of transition again under new manager Ruben Amorim, but one player whose future has not changed is that of the Brazilian winger. Antonio. The Red Devils looked for an exit for him during the summer, and will also look for a loan in January.
According to ABC de Sevilla (via Marco), Real Betis have already made initial contacts with United to understand the economic demands of an agreement. For the deal to go through, they say Antony will have to give up significant money to make it financially viable for Betis, and winger Assane Diao is also likely to leave.
Antony has played just 11 times this season, providing one assist in his 349 minutes. Only three of those were starts though. Aitor Ruibal and Diao are the main options for Manuel Pellegrini on the right, while Giovani Lo Celso and Chimy Avila have been used here as well. Pellegrini also has a good record of getting the best out of technical players, such as Lo Celso, Isco and Ez Abde. Diao has been linked with an exit for much of the past year, and last January was set for a €25 million move to Brentford, but his stock has fallen since then.
