Manchester United have missed out on a transfer windfall following Chelsea's Conference League final win over Real Betis.

The Blues came from behind to defeat Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw, Poland.

Second half goals from Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo secured victory for Enzo Maresca's side.

Chelsea are now the first team in football history to win four major European trophies, having tasted success in the Champions League, Europa League and Cup Winners' Cup before Wednesday night.

United will have had one eye on the final in Poland due to the presence of loanees Antony and Sancho.

While Sancho was on the winning side and scored a goal, Antony did not have a significant impact on proceedings.

Spanish outlet ABC reported that, before the final, Betis had paid United a total of €150,000.

As part of a loan agreement, the two clubs agreed that the Spanish club would pay that sum if they qualified for the Europa League via La Liga, with Antony playing half of the games he was available for.

Another conditional payment of €365,000 was reportedly agreed on between both sides.

That payment, however, was contingent on Betis winning the Conference League against Chelsea.

Antony is currently set to return to Manchester United ahead of the 2025/26 season, though it remains to be seen whether his long-term future will be at Old Trafford.

Speaking to TNT Sports Brazil ahead of the final, the 25-year-old stated that he was happy at Betis and hinted that he would prefer a move away from United.

He said (via Sky Sports): "I have the feeling that I could have done more with the United jersey but I'm also grateful for everyone's affection that I had there.

"It was a difficult moment that I went through, and today I'm smiling here and I'm happy.

"I always say that I'm doing my part. I'm playing football, I'm happy and I'm doing well.

"I don't know about the future. I'll keep doing my part so that, when the transfer window opens, my agent are working on it.

"But for now, my focus is on doing well and we'll see what happens in the future."
