Antony had a successful loan spell with Betis in the second half of last season, and both the player and the club are keen to renew their agreement. However, Betis are looking for a new loan arrangement, while Manchester United want to sell the player outright.

Betis are hoping to reach a deal within the next 24 to 48 hours. If not, they may need to explore other options, as the club's management is keen to ensure that coach Manuel Pellegrini has a strong squad for the upcoming season.
