Antony could soon find himself with a touch of familiarity at Real Betis as the Spanish side are interested in taking Tyrell Malacia on loan.
The LaLiga club are one of multiple clubs interested in taking on the full-back, who has made just seven appearances all season.
It has been a long road back for Malacia, 25, who returned to first-team football in November following an 18-month battle back from a knee meniscus injury and surgery.
His exit could be accelerated by the arrival of £33million-rated Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu, for whom United are trying to complete a deal.
