In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 6-4 on penalties to advance to the next round. Brazilian winger Antony was included in the squad for the match but did not get the chance to play. This is also the second consecutive game he has been left out. Reports suggest that Manchester United have given the green light for the 24-year-old player to leave during the winter transfer window, with several European teams including West Ham United, Real Betis, and Marseille expressing interest in loaning him. West Ham United were the first club to officially express interest in Antony. They are looking to strengthen their attack by bringing in a player who can provide pace in the final third. The Hammers believe that this Brazilian player will fit well into Potter's tactical system, who has been searching for a winger capable of making an impact in the Premier League. On the other hand, Real Betis have shown great interest in signing the Brazilian and view Antony as an ideal choice to bolster their squad. Real Betis have been seeking to enhance their attacking power by bringing in internationally renowned players, and they see the former Ajax player as a luxurious reinforcement on the right wing. Antony's characteristics are very suitable for Pellegrini's tactical system; he is a left-footed player adept at playing on the right flank, with speed being his main advantage in overwhelming opponents' defenses. Meanwhile, Marseille has also shown interest in the Brazilian winger. The French club is looking for players who can make…

The strength of Argentina's current midfield is undeniable, as evidenced by their recent achievements. To understand just how formidable their midfield lineup is, let's examine four key facts that highlight their prowess. McAllister played a total of 66 matches for both his club and national team in 2024, winning an impressive 51 of them. This remarkable win rate underscores his pivotal role, whether he's playing for Liverpool or the Argentine national team. Enzo Fernández has been instrumental in Chelsea's recent success, with the team maintaining a perfect record in the seven games where he contributed to ten goals. His performance is a clear indicator of Chelsea's fortunes, and his contributions have helped the team return to contention for a top-four finish. De Paul holds the distinction of being the most frequently fielded midfielder in football during 2024. This feat not only demonstrates his exceptional stamina but also his ability to deliver crucial goals or assists in times of need for Atlético Madrid. He remains a key player for Argentina in the upcoming World Cup. Lo Celso has made a significant impact at Real Betis, scoring eight goals and providing one assist in just 14 appearances. He currently boasts the highest goal-scoring efficiency among midfielders in the top five European leagues, surpassing even the likes of Bellingham. His move from the Premier League to La Liga has proven to be a successful one, as he has flourished in his new environment. With these four midfielders anchoring the team, it's reasonable to expect that Argentina will face few obstacles on their journey…

Translation of the article content into English: If La Liga's Real Betis sells Aserane Diao to Como, Manchester United winger Antony may transfer to the team in the coming days. The Red Devils hope that these two chain-reaction transactions can be successfully concluded, which will greatly improve the club's financial situation. The Brazilian winger, who cost 100 million euros, has been on the fringes of the Red Devils for the past two seasons. Despite changes in head coaches, his situation has not improved. After the halfway point, he has never started in the Premier League, and Ten Hag, Van Nistelrooy, and Amorim share the same view of him. Among them, since the appointment of the 39-year-old Amorim, Antony has been a substitute who only comes on at the end of the game. After joining Manchester United from Ajax, Antony has played 94 games in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and contributing 5 assists. The 24-year-old Brazilian winger lacks the necessary speed, dribbling, and crossing abilities for the Premier League, is insufficient defensively when playing as a wing-back, and is unwilling to play as a left-back. Recent rumors suggest that Betis wants to loan Antony, but whether an agreement can be reached may depend on whether the 19-year-old Spanish forward Diao leaves in the winter window. According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Betis is about to sell Diao to Como in Serie A for 9.1 million pounds, and the funds from this transaction may pave the way for Antony's future involvement. Whether a loan agreement can be reached may depend…
