Manchester United star with just 12 goals since 2022 linked with move to surprise La Liga club in January: Reports

Real Betis are reportedly interested in signing Antony from Manchester United in the upcoming January transfer window. The latest revelation was made in a publication by Spanish outlet ABC (via GOAL).

Antony joined the Red Devils from Ajax for a reported €95 million in August 2022. However, he has struggled to enhance United's right-wing since moving to England.

Since joining the Red Devils, Antony has made 93 appearances across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and registering five assists.

He has scored just once in 11 games this season. This has reduced his game time, as Amad Diallo is currently ahead of him in the right-wing pecking order.

Although his contract at Old Trafford expires in June 2027, United might be looking to offload him given his poor performance. This is based on the idea that he has arguably failed to prove his big-money valuation since moving to Old Trafford.

The aforementioned report also claims that Betis are looking to persuade United to share Antony's salary payment. Meanwhile, the possible sale of Real Betis' right-winger Assane Diao is also a key factor in Antony's plausible loan deal.

"We have many of the ingredients needed to succeed," says Manchester United's head coach Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim has claimed that his team has what it takes to succeed. This comes after he has arguably witnessed a difficult start to his career as the head coach of Manchester United.

In a press conference ahead of the Premier League game against Newcastle United, Amorim said (via Fabrizio Romano):

"I have seen enough in recent weeks to recognise that we have many of the ingredients needed to succeed, I remain as confident as I was on my first day here that we will get there."

He added:

"In the meantime, it is my responsibility to remain calm."

In 10 games under his stewardship, United have won four, drawn one, and lost five games across all competitions. Meanwhile, Amorim remains confident that his team will turn things around and succeed.

United's defense has been guilty of conceding cheap goals lately. The attack has also been poor as United have failed to score in their last two Premier League games. Hence, Amorim has his work cut out.

The Red Devils will look to bounce back when they take on Newcastle United in the Premier League tonight (December 30).
