The deal to bring Antony to leave Old Trafford to join Real Betis seemed to be completed, but suddenly broke out in the last hours.
Betis withdrew from the Antony deal, Man United was confused like silk
According to ESPN, Manchester United and Betis have reached an agreement on a contract worth up to £ 25 million. However, in the official announcement on Friday, the representative of La Liga confirmed: “There is no agreement for Antony and we have withdrawn the suggestion. Betis cannot pay the transfer fee and the salary that Man United must pay to the player.”
This causes the opposite of the Old Trafford. The internal source of Man United emphasizes the acceptance from Betis. According to them, the breakdown is not because of the transfer fee but because the Antony salary requests exceeding Betis's financial capacity.

Earlier, Antony was allowed to negotiate the terms of the individual after the booming season at Betis, where he played on loan and scored 9 goals after 26 matches since January.
If the two parties find a common voice at the last minute, the deal will close the disappointing 3 -year period of Antony at Man United. Being expected big when landing at Old Trafford from Ajax in 2022 for £ 86 million under Erik Ten HAG, Antony became the second most expensive contract in the history of the club after Paul Pogba. But his performances have never met expectations.
This summer, returning after the loan contract, Antony was even bricked from the US trip. He had to practice with the player group not in the plan, including Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho.
Antony's future is still a big question mark. Will he officially leave Old Trafford to find a one -on -one career, or continue to get stuck in a deadlock at Man United?
