Antony Shines at Betis Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Antony has revitalized his career at Real Betis since joining on loan from Manchester United in January, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 19 appearances, including a key goal in Betis' 2-1 Conference League semi-final win over Fiorentina. Betis legend Joaquin humorously vowed to 'kidnap' Antony to keep him, reflecting his popularity among fans as Betis seek to retain him. Former teammate David de Gea, now at Fiorentina, noted Antony never scored with his right foot in Manchester United training, highlighting the quality of Antony's goal. Betis' head scout attributed Antony's resurgence to the supportive environment at the club. Manchester United remains firm on requiring a permanent transfer for Antony amid financial pressures and is also looking to strengthen their defense this summer. Antony has stated it's too early to decide his long-term future.
