Real Betis want Antony back - but there's a catch for Man Utd as Red Devils look to permanently offload £86m flop

<p><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14800055/Real-Betis-Man-United-Antony-LaLiga-buy.html" target="_blank"><em>Mail Sport</em></a> report that the Spanish club are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/real-betis-antony-manchester-united-loan-deal-brazil-international-spain/blt68a339a87f6f261b" target="_blank">hoping to strike a deal to land the winger on loan</a> with a £35 million ($47m) option to buy him in the future, after a very successful loan spell there in the second half of last season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/antony-no-future-man-utd-real-betis-loan-revival-30m-buyer-brazilian-winger/blt21fbecb2ac1451e6" target="_blank">That may not work for United, though, who want a permanent sale</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Antony had a dreadful time of things in the Premier League, signing for £86m ($117m) but scoring just 12 goals in 96 appearances at Old Trafford. He has improved hugely in Spain, though, proving a real hit with the Conference League final losers.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Antony scored nine goals and assisted five in 26 appearances for Real Betis. Upon departing the club, for now, Antony said: "When I arrived here, I didn't know what to expect. It was like coming home, like reconnecting with a part of me I thought I'd lost. With you, I smiled again. With you, I became that kid again. The one who loved football with all my heart. With you, football became love again. True love."</p>
