The deal reportedly does not include a purchase option.
Negotiations between the two clubs have reached the final stages, and the deal is expected to be finalized this week.
According to British media, Manchester United will cover part of Antony’s wages during the loan period, with the Brazilian currently earning £200,000 per week.
Manchester United signed Antony from Ajax
Antony was signed by Erik ten Hag during his tenure as Manchester United manager, with the club paying a hefty fee to bring him in from Ajax.
However, the winger has failed to live up to expectations.
Statistics from Whoscored reveal that since joining Manchester United, Antony has made 61 Premier League appearances, registering just five goals and three assists.
Antony is no longer part of Manchester United’s future plans
Notably, his direct goal contributions are fewer than the 10 yellow cards he has accumulated.
Following Ten Hag’s departure, Manchester United has started offloading players who do not fit into the club’s future plans.
