Manchester United Rule Out Ruben Amorim; Antony Could Join RB Leipzig After Impressive Spell in Spain
Portuguese manager does not count on the Brazilian winger, who may head to Germany after a productive loan at Real Betis.
Antony’s time at Manchester United appears to be coming to an end, as new managerial plans under Ruben Amorim reportedly do not include the Brazilian winger in the club’s future. Despite Antony’s strong showing in La Liga, RB Leipzig is emerging as a potential destination for the 24-year-old, according to Fichajes.
Antony Impresses at Real Betis, But Future Lies Elsewhere
The former Ajax forward excelled during his loan spell at Real Betis, contributing directly to 15 goals in 26 appearances with 9 goals and 6 assists. Alongside Isco, Antony was a key figure in Betis’s UEFA Conference League campaign, where the team eventually fell to Chelsea in the final.
Both Betis and the player are reportedly open to extending the partnership, but financial constraints could block the move. The Spanish club is unlikely to match United’s asking price, opening the door to other European suitors.
RB Leipzig Monitoring Situation
RB Leipzig has entered the conversation, though no formal offer has been submitted to either Manchester United or Antony’s camp. The German side sees the Brazilian as a versatile option for their attacking rebuild. A potential move to the Bundesliga would provide Antony with top-level football and UEFA competition next season.
Manchester United is reportedly open to negotiations. Offloading Antony would reduce their wage bill and create space for new signings, as the club prepares for a significant squad overhaul after another disappointing campaign.
Jadon Sancho Also Set for Exit
Antony isn’t the only winger set to leave Old Trafford. Jadon Sancho, who spent last season on loan at Chelsea, is also unlikely to remain with the Red Devils. The Englishman is reportedly close to a move to Juventus, continuing the mass reshuffle under Amorim.
Antony’s Track Record in Europe
Since leaving São Paulo FC, Antony made a name for himself at Ajax before joining Manchester United in a high-profile transfer. He has played 96 matches for United, scoring 12 goals and providing 5 assists. While his time in the Premier League has been inconsistent, his recent form in Spain suggests untapped potential.
With RB Leipzig monitoring closely and Real Betis still interested, Antony’s next move could be finalized in the coming weeks but it is increasingly clear his future lies away from Manchester.
