Antony on the move! Man Utd flop may make shock January transfer as La Liga club plot loan offer

LaLiga

Real Betis

Deportivo Alaves

Premier League

Manchester United

Brighton

<p>According to <a href="https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1880211915491901679" target="_blank">Ben Jacobs,</a> the Spanish club are said to have intensified efforts to secure the deal, but only under the condition that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antony-man-utd-escape-route-real-betis-loan-january/blt7e13afea50387b97" target="_blank">United agree to cover more than half </a>of the player’s substantial wages. The 24-year-old is among United’s top five earners, reportedly pocketing £200,000 per week under a contract that runs until 2027. These wages have been a source of frustration among fans, particularly as Antony has struggled to justify his salary with consistent performances.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Antony, who signed for the Red Devils from Ajax in August 2022, has faced growing scrutiny for his performances since his arrival. However, Betis are reportedly ready to proceed with a loan deal but remain unwilling to shoulder the full financial burden of the winger's hefty paycheck. If United agree to subsidise a significant portion of his wages, the move could become a reality.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United are reportedly seeking to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-antony-exit-red-devils-loan-gbp86m-flop-value-rock-bottom-ruben-amorim/blta4fa7a8aff8db3d3" target="_blank">offload high earners like Antony</a> to improve their financial standing under Profit and Sustainability Rules, so the Brazilian's wages and limited impact on the pitch make him a prime candidate for a move. His contributions on the pitch have been underwhelming this season, having played just 401 minutes across all competitions. His most recent performance against Southampton further fueled criticism as Antony <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/absolutely-horrific-antony-dubbed-worst-signing-all-time-man-utd-misses-two-yards-against-southampton/bltb6ed94ac4d8f86f8" target="_blank">squandered a close-range chance</a> to level the score for United, leaving fans exasperated. Fortunately for the team, Amad Diallo stepped up with a late hat-trick, rescuing the side from what could have been an embarrassing result against the league's bottom-placed team.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The potential move to Betis represents an opportunity for Antony to reignite his career and prove his worth. Meanwhile, for United, shedding a significant portion of his wages would provide much-needed financial flexibility to pursue other signings. As the January transfer window continues to rumble on, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see if the Brazilian winger’s departure becomes part of a broader strategy of reshaping the squad.</p>
