Anthony potentially leaving Old Trafford
United are currently in talks with several clubs – including La Liga side Real Betis – which have ended January loan deal for Anthony.

“United will consider offers for the 24-year-old, and the most likely deal would be on loan. Betis is in the market for a winger having just sold Assane Diaw to Como.
Anthony's contract with United runs until 2027. United can also extend this contract for an additional 12 months.
