Manchester United attacker Antony has been linked with a move away from the club, and Real Betis were keen on signing him and Christian Eriksen.
La Liga outfit Real Betis were considering a late move for Christian Eriksen as well as Antony. However, a report from The Guardian has claimed that wages have proven to be a major problem for the Spanish club, and they might not be able to get a deal across the line.
Antony has been quite underwhelming since his big-money move from Ajax, and he has been linked with a move away from Manchester United for months. The Brazilian has been quite mediocre, and he has not been able to adapt to the Premier League so far.
A move to La Liga would have been ideal for him. Real Betis could certainly use more quality in the final third, and the Brazilian would have been a useful acquisition for them. He needs a fresh start to regain his form and confidence. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to provide him with an exit route before the transfer deadline.
Eriksen needs to move on this summer
Christian Eriksen is in the twilight stages of his career, and he needs to move on and join a club where he will get ample game time. Sitting on the bench at Manchester United is unlikely to benefit him right now. He has proven himself at top clubs throughout his career, but he is clearly on the decline.
Manchester United need better players if they want to push for major trophies. They will be looking to get the Denmark international off their books. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can find a suitable destination for the Denmark international before the window closes later today.
Meanwhile, both players are on substantial wages at Old Trafford, and most clubs will not be able to afford them. It is fair to assume that they will need to take a paycut to seal a move away from Old Trafford this month. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
