Transfer specialist Romano confirmed the Antony transfer on his YouTube channel and hinted at a possible new signing as a potential replacement for the outgoing winger. He said: "What does it (Antony's exit) mean? It means that Manchester United will be active on the market in that position in the next few days.

Manchester United have reached an agreement to send Antony on loan to Real Betis, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Antony has been regularly linked with a move away from Old Trafford as he has failed to live up to his colossal £86million (€101.6m / $104.6m) price tag. But those rumours have accelerated in recent months following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, the manager who brought him to Man Utd.
