The Brazilian, despite the pressure, has closed all doors again for the Red Devils with 11 days to the end of the transfer market to force him to negotiate and accept the Betis proposals.
The desire to have Antony back this season as soon as his loan is over, required a series of circumstances to occur this summer that usually do not take place, especially that a player of the Brazilian status resists the pressure of a powerful club like Manchester United to return to a team where he spent six months.
However, three months have passed, and the roadmap that has outlined Betis, which is aware from the start that this issue would not be resolved until the end of the summer, continues on track thanks to the unperturbed desire of the São Paulo resident to restore the green and white shirt. So none of the pressure measures that the mancunians have applied for, such as the removal of him from the pre -season group or is in danger of keeping him in the stands, has undermined his fixed intention and he has rejected all the proposals on the table, which came close to the financial requirements established in Old Trafford, around € 40 million.
And the football player, again, with less than two weeks to go until the market closes, has closed all possible doors to Manchester and has offered only one way out, both as far as he has again made clear that he only wants to go to betis and that he is willing to wait until the last day of the transfer star to wear the number 7 shirt that will continue in hope that the operation will continue.
This recent communication of the player of the player, the last of this summer, reduces the Chamber of Manchester United for maneuver, because they are forced to negotiate with the vegetables on the basis of the acclaimed proposals they have made on the table: a new loan with a greater contribution to his salary or a 50% buyout for about € 20 million. This would mean that both clubs would share the property, although the sport control would fall to have betis.
The other option that remains for Manchester United is to try to get the most out of him on the field, but for now Rúben Amorim has not even called him for the competition opener against Arsenal, who ended in a defeat. So now everything depends on the decision at Old Trafford, with the cards that have already been stacked heavily in favor of the heliopolitans. In this respect, it is worth mentioning that Antony's attitude has created a hostile environment among English fans, as is reflected on social media in recent days, so this desperate way of acting does not seem sustainable.
