Antony claims to leave Man United to join Real Betis, the best decision he has ever made.
The Brazilian moved to Old Trafford for an eye-watery £ 86 million from Ajax in 2022, but underwent a nightmare of two and a half years in England in which he registered only 12 goals and five assists in 96 matches for the Red Devils.
Since he was sent on loan to the Estadio Benito Villamarin in January, the 25-year-old has been a revelation scoring goals and making four assists in 20 performances in front of Manuel Pellegrini.
His shape has attracted the attention of vroernes with betis who are reportedly interested in another loan movement, while Atletico Madrid from Diego Simeone may try to sign him permanently, according to El Chiringuito.
Although he has two years on his contract with United, it is still to be seen whether there is a chance that Antony will have a future at the club. And the chance of an old Trafford shortened with Antony's latest comments about his parent club.
“The best decision I have ever made came to Betis,” he said.
'I am happy – and if I am happy, things will go well.
Betis will undoubtedly be stimulated by Antony's comments, but they have no option to buy Antony from Man United as soon as his current loan agreement ends after the end of the season.
The Ruben Amorim manager of Red Devils has previously stated that decisions about all players currently on loan will be taken to other teams in their returns and they will certainly earn so much of the £ 86 million that they have spoken in Antony.
And Antony admitted that he is still in the dark where he will play next season.
“The future? It's very early; I don't know what will happen, but I'm very happy here, “he said.
“I have noticed that I enjoyed football. It is now strange, although I know how talented I am, so I gave priority to go where I knew I would be happy, although I had better offers. '
Betis has four La Liga matches to go before the season ends, a point outside the top-five Champions League qualifying rooms in La Liga standing if things are.
They also have a 2-1 advantage of the first stage of their Europa Conference League semi-final against Fiorentina, because they want to meet Chelsea or Djurgarden in the final later this month.
