\u00a385 million Manchester United flop Antony is on the verge of securing a loan move to La Liga outfit Real Betis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antony transfer news: Verbal agreement between United and Betis ‘imminent’<\/h2>\n

United fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Antony<\/a> is finally on his way out the door following almost three years of what many would describe as one of the most disappointing individual periods in club history.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian arrived on the back of a strong recommendation from his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag<\/a>, but failed to live up to expectations and he’ll go down as one of, if not United’s worst signing of all-time.<\/p>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano, Antony’s move to Real Betis is expected to be finalised following Sunday afternoon’s clash with Brighton<\/a> at Old Trafford where he is listed on the bench.<\/p>\n

The deal is strictly on loan until the end of the season and there is no option or obligation to buy clause included, while United will pay a portion of his salary as he attempts to revive his career in Spain.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has not started a Premier League game this season and he’s made just seven appearances as a substitute – and offloading part of the club’s hefty wage bill could lead to a new arrival before the end of the window.<\/p>\n
