Real Betis have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Manchester United for the return of Brazilian winger Antony—initially on loan, with a pathway to a permanent transfer. This move could mark a turning point for both player and club alike, blending Betis’ tactical needs with United’s intricate transfer strategy.

Antony, once signed by United in 2022 for a hefty £86 million, endured a tough stint that failed to live up to the expectations that accompanied the large price tag. Despite scoring just 12 goals in 96 appearances, his career took a positive turn during his recent loan at …

President Bola Tinubu has voiced frustration over what he described as Nigeria’s slow pace of development, warning that the country — and Africa more broadly — must accelerate progress to secure their place in the global order.

He described the partnership with Brazil as an opportunity not only to strengthen ties but also to reset the trajectory of Africa’s largest democracy.
