Antony dos Santos embarks on a critical loan spell at Real Betis, aiming to revive his career after an underwhelming stint at Manchester United. The Brazilian winger seeks to rediscover his Ajax-era brilliance in La Liga.

Manchester United are making progress in talks over winger Antony’s proposed loan move to Real Betis. The Brazil international, 24, is yet to start a Premier League game this season and has made only seven substitute appearances in the competition.

The 20-year-old left-back is seen as a potential wing-back for Amorim’s system. Betis, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, are enduring a disappointing season and are only 12th in LaLiga, while they came 15th in the Europa Conference League group stage.
