Powered by‘Advanced negotiations’: INEOS now haggling to recuperate as high a fee as possible for £200k-a-week Man Utd starINEOS have to be ruthless when it comes to sanctioning player exits this summer – or else risk keeping hold of deadwood players who are stealing a living.Antony is one Manchester United star likely to be offloaded when the window opens due to the interest he’s receiving from his current club, Real Betis.AdvertisementThere is an off-chance Ruben Amorim would look to bring the winger back to Old Trafford and see if he can replicate such revived form in a red shirt.

However, after two failed seasons in M16, it’s improbable United would give him another season to prove himself.Since making the move to Spain in January, Antony has become something of a player reborn.

He left United without making a single Premier League start whilst scoring only one goal – from the penalty spot no less – in a 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley in the third round.He made nine appearances under Amorim (two as a starter) before the boss signed off on his temporary departure, although no buy clause was included in the terms.Betis kickstart attempts to sign Antony Antony has revived his stagnant form over in Spain.

Journalist Urial Lugt claims the two sides are in ‘advanced negotiations’ to try and hash out a deal that sees Antony join Los Verderones long-term.AdvertisementPresumably, the 25-year-old would also have to reduce his £200,000-a-week wages that he’s been earning since putting pen to paper on a five-year United deal in 2022.More Stories / Latest News‘Advanced negotiations’: INEOS now haggling to recuperate as high a fee as possible for £200k-a-week Man Utd star Apr 14 2025, 11:43Keane voices rare praise for Utd star after ‘beautiful’ moment – but Scholes thinks he’ll be replaced this summer Apr 14 2025, 8:58Amorim was left with ‘his hands on his head’ after one moment vs Newcastle, it spells bad news for Lyon Apr 14 2025, 7:53
