After the clubs agreed to a 25 million euro (£21.65 million) deal for the Brazil winger, Antony’s move from Manchester United to Real Betis was revived.
United initially believed they had reached a sale agreement with Real Betis, but Betis later announced in a statement that they were retracing their offer.
Antony, 25, requested payment of a portion of his United contract, which led to the breakdown of the agreement.
Over the weekend, discussions continued to try to break the impasse, with Antony now receiving a medical clearance from United sources.
United sources said the deal is 22m euros (£19.06m) with 3m euros of add-ons (£2.59m).
The agreement includes a 50% net sell-on clause and no payment to the player.
When Antony left Ajax in 2022, he cost United £81.33 million.
He recorded five goals and three assists in 62 Premier League appearances.
In 26 league and cup appearances, Antony scored nine goals for Betis on loan in January.
On Monday, his permanent relocation to Spain is anticipated to be confirmed.
Kobbie Mainoo is anticipated to remain at United in the interim.
After seeing his limited appearances, the England midfielder, 20, wants to go on a loan.
At the age of 38, Novak Djokovic defeated Jan-Lennard Struff in a dominant 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 match despite having lost on his daughter’s birthday.
“Yes, she was disappointed that I was unable to attend the birthday party.” Please don’t remind me of that, Djokovic, who became the oldest man to reach all four Grand Slam quarterfinals in a single season, on Sunday.
Djokovic’s record-extending victory kept his pursuit of a record-breaking 25th major title alive, and it also led to his entry into his 64th Grand Slam quarterfinal.
However, the Serbian’s focus was on family issues when he discussed the sacrifices that were necessary at this point in his career.
“If I’m here, I’ll try to win.” At least I’m going to try to win and give her that kind of present,” Djokovic said.
For her birthday party, I’m going to send some lovely presents as well as some lovely surprises.

Djokovic is the dominant player.
During the 109-minute contest at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the experience over power was unmatched.
Djokovic, a 35-year-old German, broke the German’s serve six times in the fourth round, asserting control of the fourth-round match from the opening contest. His own serve proved crucial in the face of a player who had the tournament’s second-highest ace count of 66 at the start of the contest.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion completely neutralized Struff’s biggest weapon by firing 12 aces while winning 79 percent of first-serve points.
“Serving well is undoubtedly helpful. Djokovic said, “I think I had a great serving performance tonight as well as in the final round.”
“I just saw the statistics, and I outstripped one of the guys this year who had the most aces,” I thought. That, of course, makes my life easier on the court.
In order to advance to his first US Open fourth round, Struff, who is ranked 144th overall, defeated two seeded players, Frances Tiafoe (17th), Holger Rune (11th), and Frances Tiafoe (17th), but he was unable to put any real pressure on the seventh seed.
The German made only 19 winners and committed 32 unforced errors.
This US Open men’s singles match in the fourth round or later in the professional era was the oldest due to their combined 73 years and 60 days.
Djokovic, who is currently 36-0 against Grand Slam qualifiers, had to have his right shoulder and forearm treated by a physio during the match, but he did not appear to be overly constrained by the issues.
Djokovic said he was not looking beyond Taylor Fritz, who finished second in the 2024 US Open, when he was preparing for a potential semifinal against world number two Carlos Alcaraz.
One thing I’ve learned over the past few years is to take really one match at a time, he said.

Wales bowed out in the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-finals despite the fact that England, Scotland, and Ireland had all advanced.
A historic try, a memorable moment for Samoan rugby, and a historic try for Brazil were also featured in the second round of fixtures.
The missing thrillers are delivered by York.

In the first round of games, the Women’s World Cup was dominated by one-sided scorelines, which demanded an edge-of-your-seat classic.
Two also arrived at York Community Stadium, just like buses.
First, Australia and the United States traded the lead in a thrilling 31-31 draw that kept both teams’ knockout hopes alive on Saturday evening.
Eva Karpani’s try, which Wallaroos prop Eva Karpani had attempted to win, appeared to have secured a dramatic victory, but Samantha Wood’s attempt to win the match was largely unconvincing.
USA center Ilona Maher remarked, “We’re changing the game here, even just by these crowds.”
People are loving us, they came out in support, and we gave them a really entertaining piece of rugby, despite the fact that this is a game not between two of the larger rugby nations.
South Africa’s late goal secured their first ever quarter-final spot with a historic victory of 29-24 over Italy at the same venue, which was on the verge of another thrilling draw on Sunday.
“This is unbelievable. It is so moving. Swys de Bruin, South Africa’s head coach, said, “We have never won the quarterfinals or defeated Italy.”

Scotland finally reaches the quarter-finals once more.

Scotland became the first nation to reach the quarter-finals after defeating a strong Fiji side 29-15 on Saturday in Salford.
The reward is a place in the knockout stages for the first time since 2002, as well as an impressive opening-round victory over Wales.
Francesca McGhie scored twice to increase her World Cup try total to five, but the game’s vintage Fijian flair and power kept things interesting.
Former Scotland international Deborah McCormack told BBC Sport, “We have to celebrate the fact that Scotland has qualified for the quarter-final of the World Cup for the first time since 2002.”
Before some of these players were born, that was. It is a significant accomplishment that leaves a legacy for both the players who preceded and those who will follow.
The performance was not the fully polished article, but they resurrected their leadership. They are truly in a position to defeat the best.
One of the best matches takes place on Saturday against world leaders Canada, who finished second in Pool B and is likely to face hosts England in the knockout stages.
The moment is up for the underdogs.

Samoa gleefully took the lead after 47-0 defeat to England in Northampton when Harmony Vatau scored the opener.
Since having not scored a point in a World Cup game since 2014, their players and supporters had a huge cheerleading match.
Vatau’s score, which was a record for the Red Roses winning in a World Cup, may have helped Samoa’s head coach, who acknowledged his team wanted to avoid “that zero,” but it may have ended up shipping 92 points, which is a record-setting result for the Samoa team.
Samoa are 15th in the world and have players taking unpaid leave to play at the World Cup, which is due to the fact that their part-time players had to crowdfund to pay for their place.
Brazil, the only nation in the world rankings standings after Samoa, had their own underdog moment in Exeter.
Bianca Silva, the Yaras sevens captain, dummied and raced over half the pitch to score a remarkable individual score in Exeter after being dumped out of the Brazilian favelas to play rugby as part of a charity project.
Silva was wooed on by a loud Sandy Park before being mobbed by her team-mates in their first Women’s Rugby World Cup try for Brazil.
Emiliano Caffera, the head coach, said, “I am very proud of the girls.

Wales exhibits signs of improvement as the competition comes to an end

Wales were aware that their fate in the World Cup opener against Scotland was likely to be decided by that fact.
A disappointing 38-8 defeat for Canada’s No. 2 seeded team made it difficult to advance to the knockout stages, so a victory on Saturday against the world’s No. 2 ranked side was required.
Before this year’s Women’s Six Nations, Sean Lynn replaced his starting XV with seven changes.
Back rower Branwen Metcalfe, 18, made her Test debut from the bench, while the average age for Wales’ front row was just 20.
Despite being defeated by one of the World Cup favorites with a 42-0 defeat, Lynn’s young side showed plenty of green shoots to work with as the season progressed.
Former Wales captain Philippa Tuttiett told BBC’s Rugby Union Weekly, “I’m glad the Wales women showed their respect for the jersey and the effort they put in.”
Sean Lynn will be able to advance with that team if you apply that to his coaching prowess.
Wales must first pay attention to the emerging nations that are in opposition, with Fiji, who are four places below them in 14th, likely to have a difficult final pool game on Saturday in Exeter.
Spain, ranked 13th, lost to Ireland on Sunday, which showed signs of progress, 43-27.
Ireland’s depth increases before world champions.

Wales should look to Ireland, who have scored 85 points in their opening two games against Japan and Spain, for inspiration if they need it.
Under Scott Bemand, Ireland have only made one World Cup appearance since 2017, which is their first since 2017.
Aoife Wafer, the eighth-ranked player, has not yet participated in this tournament and will hope to return for the pool decider against New Zealand on Sunday in Brighton.
With a strong all-around performance, Grace Moore skillfully filled Wafer’s shoes against Spain, scoring two tries and putting up 14 tackles.
It’s great to see that the back row of Ireland has such depth, Alphonsi said.
Wafer was warming up against Spain, so it appears like she might be able to play in her next game.
“There are other players pushing,” he said. Sam Monaghan’s injury has also improved Brittany Hogan.
Last year, Bemand’s team won a shocking victory over the world champions at WXV1, giving them hope that Pool C will be won out of reach for the semi-finals.
After being rumored to be “on the rocks” after a trip to Ibiza, Olivia Attwood has admitted to having an affair with Bradley Dack, who she claims neither of them are “perfect.”

Olivia Attwood says she’s “not perfect” when it comes to her marriage with Bradley Dack, a mid reports that the couple have been “on the rocks” following her recent holiday to Ibiza, where she was pictured close to pal Pete Wicks.
“Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship,” the 34-year-old tells Mirror. “That’s the thing that we all learn. There is no such thing as perfect. If you leave someone because of a certain set of issues, you’ll find someone with a new set of issues.”
Talking ahead of the second season of her new ITV show, Bad Boyfriends, being released, former Love Island star Olivia says her catapulting career has caused a shift in dynamic between her and husband of two years Bradley. “For ages I had the crown, I was carrying us on my back for a long time.

He is enthroning me, he said. He was always out in the beginning and was playing football. And now he needs to assist me more because I’m the one who is filming seven days per week. Because I work, I miss my football games. I’m evil.
“He says, ‘You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in like, where’s my dinner’,” said Olivia, who now is a regular on daytime shows such as Loose Women and This Morning.
Fans began talking about the bikini-clad Olivia’s photos of her relaxing on a boat in Ibiza last week because they were concerned about what her husband would think of the warm display. Bradley’s Gillingham FC teammates reportedly teased him in the dressing room by images of his wife cuddling the reality star, which reportedly made him feel “livid.”
Olivia, who hosted her Kiss radio show live from Ibiza with Pete last week, claims she partys a lot less these days, but she wouldn’t give up painting the town red because she is married. “I’m still going to a roo in Ibiza and don a bikini,” I said. I am who I am.

When a woman is first conceived, many men are conned, and they later decide, “Of course, I don’t want her to go out in a bikini.” But I’m like, “This is who I am.” He never tries to stifle my feelings. There have been many relationships where that was true. It’s very liberating, says Olivia when you enter one where someone likes you and accepts you for who you really are.
The contestants Olivia is looking after on the new season of her dating show Bad Boyfriends aren’t feeling as settled as she is, who is scheduled to return to the small screen this month with a brand-new series of her dating show.
A group of unsuspecting men are taken by their girlfriends to a luxurious retreat and dealt with a number of difficulties in the show.

They are “a rowdy bunch,” they say. Sometimes, “laughs Olivia,” I had to control them on the floor. All these people have relationship histories, so they have three or four days to settle into the show before the tension builds up. This is what makes this show special. They are gaining a lot of tension. That history surrounds them all. That is present right away.
On September 14, Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends airs again on ITVX.
After deciding that his son Freddy will turn 20 years old, Jeff Brazier has pleaded with his fans for assistance.

Jeff Brazier has asked for parenting advice following the news that his son Freddy is to become a dad at the age of 20. Freddy, the youngest son of TV star Jeff and the late Jade Goody is expecting his first child with an ex-girlfriend.
The baby would be the first grandchild for Jeff and Big Brother star Jade, who tragically died aged just 27 in 2009 from cervical cancer. Jeff, 46, is said to be “extremely supportive” of Freddy despite the recent tensions between the pair.
But late on Sunday night, This Morning star Jeff took to his Instagram to share a telling snap with his son as they lay curled up on the sofa together after a busy weekend. Model Freddy was seen resting his head on Jeff’s torso as the grandad-to-be wrapped an affectionate arm around him.

Jeff responded to his post by saying, “Thanks, if someone could send me that parenting guidebook, especially “early adult years the unconventional path,” along with an emoji expressing his happiness and kissing with laughter.
The devoted father has addressed any issues in the past and has pledged to support his son and guide him throughout his own journey to fatherhood, even though they may not have seen eye-to-eye in recent months. According to a source, “It has been one of the things that has really brought Freddy and his dad back together,” but Jade isn’t here to see it.
According to them, “Jeff was one of the first people he stepped up to ask for advice, and he stepped up right away and wanted to help wherever he could.” Although it is believed that Fred and his ex-girlfriend were involved in a bitter split, they were also believed to have discussed reconciling as parents.

Freddy has been a frequent visitor to his maternal grandmother, Jackeiy Budden, but sources claim Jeff was his “only person” to turn to. He has kept in touch with Jeff and has been taking his advice, according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail.
Freddy was surprised to learn that he would become a father, and he needed some assistance navigating it. He has greatly appreciated Jeff’s generosity. Freddy’s mother said, “While the news has been a shock for him,” and the source continued, “He wants to make things right and plans the rest of his life” around his child.
Jeff and Freddy’s relationship played out across screens when they appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World, where cameras followed them as they navigated their differences. The model and his older brother, EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, were raised by Jeff after Jade’s tragic death.
But in recent years, the two siblings have taken completely different paths, with Bobby starring on the BBC One soap and reportedly making the decision to shun fame and move to India to pursue his Hare Krishna faith, while Freddy has been open about his personal struggles.

I’ve been smoking since I was 12 years old, I’ve been to rehab, I’ve been sectioned, and I’ve had manic episodes, Freddy said in a snippet from his new podcast, which will be released this week. A real journey has been taken, and it has been challenging.
Freddy stated in June that he wanted to be clean and that he wanted to heal family relationships. I want to be happy, be in a good relationship with my father, and be happy with my Nana.

Good Morning Britain fans said the same thing as Susanna Reid unveiled a new look after her summer break.
During Monday’s (September 1) edition of the hit ITV programme, Susanna and her co-host Ed Balls made their return as they presented the latest news from across the UK and around the world.
It comes after the pair took several weeks off over the summer holidays.

Additionally, it was discussed about beginning online courses to teach boys how to fight harmful online messages, including those about misogyny and incel culture.
Rupert Everett discussed his new role in Rivals and his hopes to work with Julia Roberts on the sequel to My Best Friend’s Wedding with the hosts.
ITV viewers quickly shared their joy at Susanna’s return on social media after watching the program, with many noticing her stunning new hairstyle.
The 54-year-old actress has notably lighter colored hair than her trademark brunette locks, which is not so flattering.
“Hello, new month, new hairstyle for September. On X (previously Twitter), one user wrote, “Nice to see you back.”
