The Brazilian winger played very well during his lending at Real Betis in the second half of last season, but this Spanish club has not been able to reach an agreement with MU about signing a long -term contract with the Brazilian player.
MU is trying to sell Antony, who signed a £ 82 million contract from Ajax in 2022, they are waiting for suggestions for 25 -year -old players before the transfer period ends. According to CNN Portugal, Benfica has contacted MU twice in recent days to discuss borrowing Antony.

MU is waiting for the transfer fee of 50 million euros (£ 43.3 million) to this winger, while Benfica faces competition from Brighton, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig. The Red Man prioritizes selling Antony instead of continuing to lend.
Antony is currently practicing, he did not have the name before the trip before the Red Devils in the United States. Antony scored 9 goals during the loan at Real Betis, he admitted to continue playing La Liga club next season.
This winger also praised Betis's head coach, Manuel Pellegrini, for helping him find his form. Betis now just wants to borrow Antony, in case of buying breaks, they only want to spend 25 million euros, equal to half of the money required by MU.
