Man Utd Rocked by Antony Transfer Demand

By

Antony impressed during the second half of last season on loan with Real Betis.

Manchester United’s plans to sell Antony permanently this summer have been handed a huge blow as reports claim the Brazil winger is refusing to entertain offers from clubs other than Real Betis.

Antony dazzled with Betis on loan during the second half of last season, leaving United confident of raising around £30 million ($39.8 million) through his sale this summer—funds they need after the expensive acquisitions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

United have been hopeful of raising significant sums this window through the sales of their fringe players. Marcus Rashford was among the players available for transfer, but his determination to wait for Barcelona ultimately helped the Blaugrana secure a loan deal with the option to make the move permanent.

According to SPORT, Antony is now taking a similar stance, refusing offers from clubs across the globe and making it clear he is only interested in talking with Betis.
