LaLiga side will cover a large chunk of the Brazilian's £200,000 per week salary

Manchester United and Real Betis have reached an agreement over a loan deal

Manchester United winger Antony is reportedly set to travel to Spain ahead of joining Real Betis on loan.

The Brazilian has not started a league game for United this season but has found himself being used off the bench by Ruben Amorim.

There were progressive talks between United and Betis over the past week, surrounding the financial structuring of the deal between the two parties for the former Ajax star.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have reached an agreement and Antony will travel to Spain on Friday night before undergoing a medical.

The Italian journalist reports that Betis will cover 84 per cent of the winger's whopping £200,000 per week salary.

The loan will last until June 2025 without a buy option included for the Brazilian's deal to become permanent.

The Brazilian has not started under Ruben Amorim and not scored in the league this season

Earlier this month, Olympiacos expressed interest in a loan move for the beleaguered winger, but he did not want to play for the Greek side, Mail Sport understands.

Erik ten Hag made Antony, his former charge at Ajax, one of his first signings in 2022 in a mega £86million move, but things have not gone to plan.

Across eight Premier League appearances this season, he has logged just 135 minutes and has netted once in all competitions - a penalty in an EFL Cup game against Barnsley.

He has not scored in the league since April 2024 and has put up less than impressive numbers at United.

In 95 games, he has managed just 12 goals, and having earned over £25m in wages since August 2022, on average the club have had to pay Antony just over £2m for each goal.

Though he initially featured heavily under Ten Hag in his first season at the club, the minutes began to dry up towards the latter stages of the Dutchman's reign.

Meanwhile, United remain in talk with Lecce over a deal for defender Patrick Dorgu after their initial £23m plus add-ons offer was rejected.

United director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves left Milan on Wednesday night after meeting with Lecce president Sticchi Damiani, as well as agents Frank Trimboli and Leon Angel.

Mail Sport understands that Lecce want £33m for full-back Dorgu, while United have other options on the table too.

The left-sided wing-back is one of the options United have been exploring to strengthen their squad.

The Red Devils have won just once in their last six Premier League outings and sit 13th in the table.

Amorim's side will seek to gain some momentum when they visit Fulham on Saturday night. off the back of a late win against Rangers at Old Trafford in Thursday's Europa League clash.
