Antony unfortunately has to accept that his name appears on the list of Manchester United’s weakest signings. With a price tag of a wild £86 million, the Brazilian has been a chapter of sorrow for United supporters. Ruben Amorim has said Antony needs to build confidence, but Manchester United don’t have the luxury of giving the 24-year-old game time as he continues to fail to deliver. In Seville, Antony’s situation is seen as an opportunity.
According to Spanish ABC, Real Betis have checked the possibilities of renting Antony from January. The La Liga club with Isco and Vitor Rogue in the squad are in the market to find a suitable winger, the Spaniards see Antony as a strong candidate.
The Spanish media adds that even renting Antony will be tough for Real Betis to bear, but is considering selling Assane Diao to make it possible. At the same time, Manchester United cover a significant part of Antony’s salary, of course.
Manuel Pellegrini is the head coach of Real Betis, and as a former coach of Manchester City and West Ham, has a good overview of the Premier League. The Italian sees something in Antony he needs on Spanish turf.
