Manchester United green light exit to La Liga side

Manuel Pellegrini will have a new January signing to bolster Real Betis’ ranks, with Manchester United giving the go ahead for Antony to move to the Andalusian side. The Brazilian had agreed terms with Betis earlier this week, but manager Ruben Amorim was yet to approve the deal.

The story that has been reported is that Amorim was keen to ensure that if Antony were to go, he would have reinforcements coming in. With uncertainty over the futures of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, the deal for Antony has been held up.
