Manchester United winger Antony could leave on loan during the winter transfer window, according to The Times.
The Red Devils had a disappointing end to 2024 in the Premier League with five defeats in just six games.
United manager Ruben Amorim will aim to reinforce the squad in January, but it could depend on player exits.
The Portuguese has already given the green light for Marcus Rashford’s exit amid interest from Premier League clubs.
The Times add that Antony could also leave the club temporarily.
The Brazil international has been used sparingly by Amorim since his appointment, and he could move to La Liga.
The attacker is aware of Real Betis’ interest, but a deal could depend on them parting ways with Assane Diao.
The Spanish club reportedly have to pay part of Antony’s £150,000 weekly wages to secure his signature.
The 24-year-old has been hugely disappointing in his United career with 12 goals and five assists from 94 appearances.
His future was hanging in the balance under former manager Erik ten Hag, and his situation has not improved under Amorim.
Antony was far from impressive starting from the number 10 role earlier this month and he has likewise struggled as a left wing-back.
The Brazilian does not possess the defensive awareness of Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot or Amad Diallo from the wing-back role.
We won’t be surprised if he is sent on loan this winter. A good temporary stint would increase his transfer value before a summer sale.
