Man United's £86m flop Antony claims he REJECTED approach from Champions League giant before completing emotional move to Real Betis on deadline day

Manchester United flop Antony has claimed he turned down an approach from Bayern Munich in order to secure his deadline day move to Real Betis.

The Brazilian endured a horrendous time at Old Trafford and the club took a massive £60million loss on him in agreeing a deadline day move to the LaLiga side.

The 25-year-old became a fan favourite on loan at Betis last season, scoring nine goals in 26 games under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini.

After a protracted saga, Antony completed a permanent move to the Spanish side for £21.
