There is no return to Manchester United after the realization of the post-Manchester United effectBetis CEO Antony wants to stay for another year

Mar 05, 2025

He must have really felt the de-Manchester United effect.

Antony seems to have given up his lingering feelings about Manchester United. Real Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon recently told Canalsur that "Antoni wants to stay at Betis for another year." Antony felt very comfortable here, and was surprised by the facilities we had provided to help him adapt well to the city."

Antony is simply a renegade figure. He was reborn as Betis' ace in Manchester United's worst muktu. Antony was United's cull. Antony, who made his debut in Sao Paulo, entered the European stage in 2020 by moving to Ajax. He has been a main player since the first season. He scored nine goals and eight assists in 32 games. Antony, who has consistently shown good performances at Ajax, has also expanded his position in the Brazilian national team, including winning the Olympic gold medal.

United have signed Antony, who has shown promise at Ajax in the summer of 2022. His ransom amounted to a whopping £86 million. Coach Erik ten Haach requested the recruitment of Antony, who was a passionate player during Ajax, and there was a loud voice of overpay, but Manchester United embraced him anyway.

Antony fell short of expectations. He scored eight goals and three assists in his first season, but not as much as he expected. We got off to a good start. Following his debut goal against Arsenal, he scored three consecutive league goals. However, after that, the slump continued. He was even ridiculed as a `YouTube-type player' for his meaningless movements.

The second season was even gloomier. He played 38 games, but only scored three goals and two assists. To make matters worse, he was involved in the assault case and was not able to play for a while. Injuries overlapped and sluggishness continued.

This season has been even worse. Coach Ten Hach, who supported Antony until the end, eventually lost patience and was even replaced to make matters worse. Coach Hoobeng Amorim looked for use by testing him as a wing-back after taking office, but he was also sluggish. In the end, it was classified outside of electricity.

United put Antony on the market, but no team wanted him. High transfer fees and salaries were the problem. All the teams that showed interest disappeared. But Betis was serious. Betis eventually brought Antony on loan from the January transfer market.

The de-Manchester United effect was enormous. Antony scored two goals and two assists in five games, including being named MVP of two consecutive games. He also performed tremendously at home against Real Madrid on the 2nd, leading his team to a 2-1 victory. Betis rose to sixth place by boosting his performance after signing Antony.

On the 5th, Bissaker said, "'As Antony has expressed his intention to stay, a loan extension would be the best way to do so.'" As Coach Hoobeng Amorim doubts Antony's suitability in the English Premier League, Manchester United and Betis are likely to negotiate again in the summer transfer market."
