Manchester United loanee Antony’s agent has opened up about the possibility of the Brazilian returning to the club following his impressive start at Real Betis. The forward has been in scintillating form since joining the Spanish side, notching three goals and an assist in just four appearances.
In an interview with Give Me Sport via Sport Bible, Antony’s agent, Junior Pedroso, discussed the uncertain future of his client. He emphasized the dynamic nature of football and the various factors that could influence Antony’s next move. Pedroso stated, “There are no long-term plans to be made. There may still be a few more chapters in his story with Manchester United, or there may not be. This will depend on many factors involving decisions by the club and him in the near future.”
Additionally, Pedroso confirmed that there is no buy option clause in Antony’s loan contract with Real Betis. This means that the Brazilian will return to Manchester United in July. The decision to loan Antony was mutual, with both the player and the club agreeing that a temporary spell away from Old Trafford would help him rediscover his best form.
Antony’s tenure at Manchester United has been underwhelming since his arrival in 2022 for a reported fee of €95 million. In 96 appearances for the Red Devils, he managed to score 12 goals and provide five assists.
Despite his struggles in England, Antony has hit the ground running at Real Betis, showcasing his talent with two goals and an assist in just three LaLiga outings. His most recent standout performance saw him score a sensational volley in a 3-0 win over Real Sociedad.
Following his impressive displays for the Spanish outfit, Antony took to Instagram to express his satisfaction with a simple yet powerful message – “Mucho Betis.” The forward will be looking to maintain his momentum and continue to thrive with Real Betis as he aims to reignite his career after a challenging spell at Manchester United.
As Antony’s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear – the Brazilian is determined to make the most of his opportunity at Real Betis and prove his worth on the pitch. With his agent hinting at a potential return to Manchester United, the coming months will be crucial in determining the next chapter in Antony’s footballing journey.
