The story of Antony's life is expected to continue.
Brazil's UOL reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Antoni, who left Real Betis, will not return to Manchester United and he is on Juventus' radar'
The media reported that `Juventus made Antony one of the targets of the transfer market. Antony has been well-received by Juventus' board since the start of the year, and now Juventus is grasping the information to increase interest in the transfer market, he explained.
Antony is the worst recruit in Manchester United's history. Coach Erik ten Hach talked about Antony when he asked the club to recruit a player that suits his taste after taking over at Manchester United. United began negotiations with Ajax, who had no intention of sending Antony. Ajax continued to raise prices and eventually managed to get 95 million euros (about 148.7 billion won). Manchester United have invested astronomical money in players who are not top wingers in the Dutch league as well.
As expected, the results were as obvious as ever. Antony has done absolutely nothing for Manchester United. Antony, who has disadvantages such as weak physical struggle, rapid speed, and extreme dependence on his left foot, has not adapted to the Premier League (EPL) stage at all.
Ahead of last season, Antony's situation became even worse when privacy issues with his ex-girlfriend erupted. Antony, who began to fall apart psychologically, couldn't pay for the money at all. After the departure of his teacher, Ten Hach, when Coach Hoobeng Amorim took the helm, Manchester United tried to sell Antony when there was no room for improvement in Antony's situation.
Antony left for Betis on loan, where he had a life season that broke everyone's expectations. He played 26 games, scoring nine goals and five assists. It was an incredible performance to be a player with 12 goals and 5 assists in 96 Manchester United games. Thanks to Antony, Betis' season gained momentum in the second half and finished sixth in the league. He reached the Europa Conference League final, but unfortunately failed to win.
Even though Antony proved to work on the stage of Spain's La Liga, Manchester United is understood to have no plans to use Antony again. He has a strong will to organize Antony unconditionally and turn him into a sale that manager Amorim wants. Antony is also reported to have no will to remain at Manchester United.
UOL says 'Antoni signed a contract with Manchester United until June 2027 but Betis is unlikely to return. Antony explained that he is looking for a new team for next season. As the media explained, Betis is willing to bring Antony back, but it is unclear whether Manchester United will meet the conditions they want. Juventus will be able to afford Antony's transfer fee.
