Manchester United will hope to pick up their first win of the season when they face Fulham on Sunday.
The Red Devils suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against old rivals Arsenal in their opening match of the Premier League season, although head coach Ruben Amorim will be pleased with aspects of his side’s performance.
Matheus Cunha and Bryen Mbeumo both impressed against the Gunners, while Benjamin Sesko could make his first start for the Red Devils having been substituted on at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Now, it appears that one member of Amorim’s squad is hoping to leave the club this summer.
According to CaughtOffside, winger Antony is pushing the club to allow him to join Spanish side Real Betis.
It is claimed that the Brazilian is keen to return to Seville, where he spent the second half of last season on loan after falling out of favour under Amorim.

Antony, 25, joined United from Dutch side Ajax in 2022 but has failed to rediscover his best form in England.
In total he has scored 12 goals and registered five assists in 96 games for United across all competitions, but he was sent on loan to Betis in January after falling out of favour.
The winger impressed in Spain and is said to be keen to return to the club, however the report claims that United are standing firm on their £35 million valuation of the player.
In total Antony scored nine times in 26 games for Betis, but it is claimed that the Spanish side have so far failed with two separate offers to sign the player this summer.
Antony’s current contract with the Red Devils is set to run until the end of the 2026/27 campaign, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will be part of Amorim’s squad for the remainder of the current campaign.
