MANCHESTER UNITED flop Antony has arrived in Spain ahead of his loan move to Real Betis.
The Brazilian has said he is “so happy” after agreeing a six-month loan move to the La Liga club after failing to impress at United.
Antony is set to seal his move to Betis today and will undergo medical tests to get the deal over the line this weekend.
And the out-of-favour United forward is clearly excited about returning to the pitch as he told reporters at the airport: “I’m so happy, I’m ready”.
Antony, 24, is hoping to secure more minutes with the Spanish club after failing to make a single league start for Man Utd this season.
Since his £86m arrival from Ajax in 2022, Antony has scored just five Premier League goals in 62 league appearances for the Red Devils.

United and Antony will both be hoping that regular minutes are on the horizon at Betis after it was reported that the deal included penalty clauses related to how often the South American is used.
It’s understood that Betis will cover at least 84 PER CENT of the star’s wages – which are believed to be around £200,000 per week.
While the Spanish outfit will also pay Antony’s bonuses at the end of the season.
It doesn’t look like it will be a permanent end to Antony’s time at Old Trafford with no buy clause included in the loan move.
