Real Betis Secure Antony on Loan from Manchester United

May 9, 2025

Real Betis have confirmed the signing of Brazilian winger Antony on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season. The announcement was made on Saturday, marking a significant move for the Spanish club.

Antony, 24, joined Manchester United from Ajax in 2022 for a hefty £81.3 million ($101.5 million), making him the club’s second most expensive signing in history. Despite flashes of brilliance, the winger has faced inconsistent form during his time at Old Trafford, netting 12 goals in 92 appearances.

Currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League, Manchester United will hope Antony’s temporary departure provides the player with an opportunity to rediscover his best form. Antony remains contracted with United until 2027, leaving room for a potential return to the squad next season.

The loan deal offers Betis a high-profile addition to their squad as they look to bolster their attacking options for the remainder of the campaign.
