Man Utd 'reach agreement' with club for Antony exit but one clause will worry fans

Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement for Antony's exit.

Back in the summer of 2022, Brazilian winger Antony left Dutch side Ajax for Old Trafford in a deal worth a reported fee of €95 million.

A lot was expected of Antony due to his previous connection with then-United boss Erik ten Hag.

However, the Brazilian has so far failed to live up to his heavy price tag as he has struggled to nail down a regular spot in the starting XI.

Antony has only managed 12 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions for United.

With the January transfer window now open, the 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

As reported by Relevo, United have reached an agreement with Spanish La Liga side Real Betis for Antony to join on loan.

However, it has been suggested that the loan deal does not include a buy option.

Journalist Matteo Moretto wrote on social media: "Verbal agreement between Betis and Manchester United for Antony Matheus dos Santos.

"The Brazilian arrives on loan without an option to buy until the end of the season."

United boss Ruben Amorim was recently asked about Antony's future, he said: "Like I said, I want to keep my players. I’m focused on this, these players. I don’t know what is going to happen. This window, we’ll see, but he did a good job."

The Red Devils will return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Ahead of the match, Amorim said: "We are trying to do everything at the same time. So we’ve had, like, seven training [sessions] together in these 14 or 15 games. So it’s really hard but we have to continue and to try to win it.

"Sometimes playing good, sometimes playing bad. We’ll try to win games."
