Real Betis have opened the door to making Antony’s loan transfer permanent after the Manchester United flop’s brilliant start to life in La Liga.

Speaking to Cadena Ser’s Radio Sevilla, Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon said: “The other day the CEO of United called me. We sent them all the moves and details of the player throughout the week so that they can see that we are looking after their asset. There is very good chemistry with Manchester [United] and with the player. It is a possibility that he will continue next season, why not?”
