Man United transfer could finally get green light as agreement 'blocked'
Manchester United could be close to finalising another loan move for one of their out-of-favour players in the final days of the January transfer window.
Antony left the Red Devils for Real Betis earlier in the window after failing to break into Ruben Amorim's team. The Brazilian played just eight games under Amorim, starting just once.
Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Casemiro have all been linked with possible moves away from Old Trafford throughout the window. Whilst an exit this month seems unlikely for the latter, Rashford and Garnacho are names expected to dominate the headlines throughout the final days of the window.

However, there could be a move on the cards for Tyrell Malacia. The 25-year-old has made just seven appearances since returning from a long-term injury, making four starts, but the signing of Patrick Dorgu will force him further down the pecking order.
Earlier in the window, The Manchester Evening News reported that the defender was likely to leave this month with a loan move more likely. Reports from the Daily Mail have linked Celtic with a temporary move and the green light for that deal looks to have landed.
Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has agreed personal terms on a pre-contract deal with the Parkhead club. The Scotland international will return to Glasgow in the summer but there had been hope at Celtic that he could move this month.
However, The Telegraph have suggested that won't be the case with Mikel Arteta blocking an immediate move. The Gunners have made it clear that Tierney will be part of the squad for the rest of the campaign as part of their Premier League title race with Liverpool.
Celtic are short at left-back after Alex Valle was recalled by Barcelona and loaned back out to Como in Serie A. Greg Taylor is the Hoop's only recognised left-back meaning Malacia could make a move to Glasgow before the window shorts.
