Antony has told Manchester United he wants to leave this summer, and Benfica have now opened talks over a potential move—www.naijnaira.com reports.

According to Mais Futebol, the Portuguese side have approached United about a loan, mirroring Real Betis’ stance after the Brazilian’s successful spell in Spain.

Antony thrived at Betis, matching his United assist tally in far fewer games and helping the club reach the Conference League final.

However, his wages remain a stumbling block for both Betis and Benfica, with United still preferring a permanent sale at around £43m.

RB Leipzig, Brighton, and Bayer Leverkusen are also believed to be keeping tabs, but Benfica’s past dealings with United, including the Alvaro Carreras deal, could work in their favour.
