Manchester United winger Antony has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent weeks.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, La Liga outfit Real Betis are increasingly confident of signing Antony. The Brazilian international has been linked with a move to Newcastle United as well.
It will be interesting to see where Antony ends up amid his emerging exit links. The South American winger has not been able to live up to the expectations since the move to the Premier League, and he needs a fresh start. A move away from Manchester United would be ideal for him.
Moving to Spain could be an interesting opportunity for the player. If Real Betis can provide him with regular game time, it could help him recapture his form and confidence. The 24-year-old was a quality player for Ajax.
However, he has not been able to reclaim that form since the move to Old Trafford. A spell away from the limelight would be ideal for him. He should look to move to the Spanish club in order to get his career back on track.
Newcastle linked with Antony
Newcastle United need a quality winger as well and have been linked with Antony. However, the Manchester United winger has been quite underwhelming in the Premier League, and signing him would be a gamble for the Magpies.
The Tyneside outfit will be looking to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season and they have done quite well in recent weeks. They need to aim higher if they want to finish in the top four.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will hope that the player can perform at a high level during his loan spell so that they can sell him permanently at the end of the season. The Red Devils will be fully aware of the fact that they will not be able to recoup the kind of money they paid for him, and they will have to accept a substantial loss on the player.
However, it would be wise of Manchester United to cash in on him permanently at the end of the season. It is evident that the move has not worked out and that the two parties need to go their separate ways.
