Antony faces an uncertain future at Manchester United with Real Betis having said they are withdrawing their offer for the winger after the Reds reportedly agreed a deal
Manchester United forward Antony has posted an update on social media as his move to Real Betis stalls.
The Brazilian has been training away from United's first team this summer after asking to leave Old Trafford. Antony spent the second half of last season on loan at Betis, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 26 appearances.
Sky Sports reported on Friday evening that United had accepted a bid from the Spanish side for the winger and Antony had been given permission to travel to Spain to discuss personal terms. However, the La Liga team released a statement late on Friday night declaring they have withdrawn their offer for the 25-year-old.
"There is no agreement and we have withdrawn the transfer offer because Real Betis can't afford the transfer fee and the amounts that Manchester United must [instead] pay the player before the transfer," the statement read.
And Antony has broken his silence on social media. The former Ajax star uploaded a picture to his Instagram stories, alongside the caption: "Between family and friends, life always has a big surprise in store!"
Antony has previously admitted to being unsure what will happen, despite insisting he has been "very happy" in Seville.
"I don't what will happen in the future, only God knows," Antony told CBS Sports. "My work is playing and I'm doing that well.
"I have a lot of affection for Betis, for everyone but I have a contract with Man United and I don't know what's going to happen.
"Now I will go to the national team and then on holiday then we will see what happens in the future. I'm very happy here, everyone knows that but I have a contract."
