Antony is shining at Real Betis, but he hasn't forgotten about Manchester United. Here's what he had to say

Despite a stellar start to his loan spell at Real Betis, Brazilian winger Antony remains determined to make a success of his Manchester United career.

The 24-year-old has been a revelation in Spain, scoring crucial goals and providing assists for Manuel Pellegrini's side. However, Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso, has revealed that the player still harbours ambitions of returning to Old Trafford.

"Saudi Arabian and Premier League clubs wanted him, but Real Betis was the best solution," Pedroso told AS. "He is very happy there. There is no purchase option and he respects Amorim a lot... his future at Manchester United is still open."

Antony joined United from Ajax in 2022 for a fee of £85 million, but struggled to adapt to the Premier League. His time in Manchester was marred by inconsistency and a lack of end product, leading to questions about his suitability for the English top flight.

However, his loan move to Betis has been a turning point in his career. The Brazilian has looked much more like the player who impressed at Ajax, and his performances in Spain have caught the eye of several top European clubs.

Despite the interest from other clubs, Antony remains committed to proving himself at Manchester United. The winger believes that he still has a lot to offer the club and is determined to succeed at Old Trafford.

Why does Antony want to return to Manchester United?

There are several reasons why Antony may want to return to Manchester United. Firstly, the club has a rich history and a passionate fanbase. Secondly, Antony still believes that he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League. Finally, he may feel that he owes it to the club to prove himself after a difficult start.

What next for Antony?

It remains to be seen whether Antony will get the opportunity to prove himself at Manchester United. If he continues to impress at Betis, it is likely that the club will be interested in signing him on a permanent basis. However, if he struggles to find his form, he may have to look for a move elsewhere.
