Real Betis are closing in on a loan deal for Manchester United winger Antony, a source has told ESPN.
A number of clubs have expressed an interest in signing the Brazil international in January. Real Betis are leading the race and although an agreement has not yet been reached, the LaLiga side are growing increasingly confident.
The deal, should it be agreed, is likely to be a loan until the end of the season with United paying at least a portion of the 24-year-old's wages.
Antony has struggled to justify United's decision to spend more than £80 million ($97.
