Atletico Madrid have officially enquired about Manchester United winger Antony, according to reports in Spain.

The Brazilian, on loan at Real Betis, has reignited his career with a string of impressive performances in La Liga. Real Betis are also keen to make his stay permanent.

Antony’s latest moment of brilliance came in Betis’ 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, where he scored a sensational goal that caught the eye of Diego Simeone’s side.

The 25-year-old has now become a hot target ahead of the summer transfer window.

With United open to offers and Fiorentina and Real Betis also showing interest, Atletico’s move could spark a three-way battle for his signature.

The Red Devils are reportedly seeking over €40 million for the winger as they prepare for a squad reshuffle.
