Manchester United's Antony has landed in Spain to finalize his loan move to Real Betis until June, with no purchase option included.

Antony is set to become Real Betis' first winter signing, with the Manchester United winger arriving in Málaga before heading to Seville to complete his medical and sign his contract. The Brazilian will join the La Liga side on loan until June, without an option to buy.

Despite his contract with Manchester United running until 2027, Antony’s time at Old Trafford has been far from successful. Signed for €95 million from Ajax in 2022, the 24-year-old has struggled to make an impact, recording just 405 minutes in 14 appearances this season, with only one goal to his name.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that Antony’s loan deal comes with specific contractual conditions. Betis must ensure he plays at least 45 minutes in a minimum of 10 matches, failing which the club may face penalties. Additionally, if Betis secures a Champions League spot or wins the Conference League, and Antony plays at least 60% of the matches, the club will be required to pay certain performance-based bonuses.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has placed several wingers on the transfer market. Antony's move to Betis is imminent, with a possible debut against Athletic Club next weekend. Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly attracting interest from Napoli and Chelsea, while Marcus Rashford, out of favor under Rúben Amorim, is being linked with a potential switch to Barcelona.
