Manchester United are slashing their asking price for Antony, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
The Old Trafford giants have made the unpalatable decision to take a whopping hit on the Brazilian as his career hits a roadblock.
The man who cost £82m just three years ago can now leave for £30m - a monster reduction - as the two parties attempt to find a permanent solution to their problems.
Antony 'Desperate' to Leave Man United for Real Betis

The 25-year-old is desperate to return to Real Betis where he enjoyed a successful loan spell under Manuel Pellegrini last season.
Betis will take him on that basis once more - but Manchester United want him away from the club.
And last year’s Europa Conference League finalists simply do not have the kind of financial firepower necessary to complete the deal.
That leaves the Brazilian in a bind as his £12m-a-year wages are providing a natural stumbling block to any interested party.
Antony is part of a ‘bomb squad’ at Old Trafford that included Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho.
And, apart from Rashford, who has surprisingly managed to bag himself a move to Barcelona, the remainder are still seeking a way out.
The relationship between Antony and his paymasters appears to have hit rock-bottom amid reports that he will be left on the sidelines if no solution is forthcoming.
Antony's statistics while on loan at Real Betis
He has been linked with a reunion once more with the man who was in charge at Old Trafford when his £82m switch was confirmed - Erik ten Hag.
However, with the asking price dropping like a stone, it’s unlikely a resolution will be found with just under three weeks of the transfer window to go.
