The deal is a straight loan deal and there is no option for it to be made permanent in the summer.
SunSport understands the Red Devils will still be paying 16 per cent of the former Ajax star’s £200,000-per-week salary.
The Spanish outfit will also pay Antony‘s bonuses at the end of the season.
Antony, 24, joined Man United in 2022 as he was reunited with now-sacked manager Erik ten Hag.
The club forked out a massive £85.5million for his signature with the hope for him to become a star at Old Trafford.
However, he struggled to bring over the form he showed in Holland in England.
He made 96 appearances for the club in all competitions and only contributed 12 goals and five assists.
Antony actually picked up 14 yellow cards during this time, more than the amount of goals he scored.

His struggles saw him drop behind the likes of Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order.
Man United confirmed his temporary departure on social media.
A statement read: “Manchester United forward Antony will spend the rest of the 2024/25 season in Spain, subject to international clearance.
“Everybody at United would like to wish Antony the best of luck for his spell in Seville.”
His transfer fee makes him the second most expensive signing in United’s history.
Only Paul Pogba‘s return to the club in 2016 cost more when the club spent £88m to bring back the midfielder.
Antony will surely go down as one of the worst transfers in the history of the Prem.
His inability to be reliable in front of goal and expense to the club has cost them in more ways than one.
Antony shared a five-word message since arriving at his new club.
He told reporters: “I’m so happy, I’m ready.”
