Real Betis aiming to sign second Manchester United player after Antony, Ruben Amorim is open to exit

Real Betis completed the signing of Antony on loan last week and are now planning on bringing in another Manchester United player.

Manchester United remain open to doing business in the final days of the January transfer window, with the potential for further outgoings or incomings.

Ruben Amorim’s squad will soon be bolstered by the additions of Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu after the club reached agreements for both players.

Meanwhile, Antony is currently the only first-team player to depart the club as he joined Real Betis on loan but there are several other players who could leave before the deadline.

Betis interested in Malacia loan

According to a report from MailSport, Betis are now interested in taking Tyrell Malacia on loan for the rest of the season as well.

It was claimed that the La Liga club are one of several clubs taking interest in the Dutch international, with United keen to offload him this window.

As mentioned previously, the Reds are closing in on completing a deal for Dorgu from Lecce and the report also mentioned that this transfer could ‘accelerate’ the exit of Malacia.

Prior reports have suggested that the club and Amorim are open to letting the 25-year-old depart this month.

Malacia feels ready to play

Malacia will be keen to get back to playing regular football as soon as possible following his torrid time out with injury over the last 18 months.

Since returning, the defender has started just four times for Amorim’s side and will be even less involved by the time Dorgu is integrated to the squad.

“You always want to play against the best,” Malacia has explained. “So that’s why I’m at Manchester United. That’s why you want to play in the Premier League.

“All I want to do is to play football. It’s been a long time so I’m happy to be back.”
