Manchester United pulled out the knife.

On the 12th (Korea time), Spain's ABC said 'Manchester United gave Antony an ultimatum' ABC said 'Manchester United has informed Antony that he will stay in the stands until January if he does not accept offers worth between €30 million and €40 million this week.'

Antony is Manchester United's sore finger. Antony, who made his debut in Sao Paulo, entered the European stage in 2020 by moving to Ajax. He has been a main player since the first season. He scored nine goals and eight assists in 32 games. Antony, who has consistently shown good performances at Ajax, has also expanded his position in the Brazilian national team, including winning the Olympic gold medal.




United have signed Antony, who has shown promise at Ajax in the summer of 2022. His ransom amounted to a whopping £86 million. Coach Erik ten Haach requested the recruitment of Antony, who was a passionate player during Ajax, and there was a loud voice of overpay, but Manchester United embraced him anyway.

Antony fell short of expectations. He scored eight goals and three assists in his first season, but not as much as he expected. We got off to a good start. Following his debut goal against Arsenal, he scored three consecutive league goals. However, after that, the slump continued. He was even ridiculed as a `YouTube-type player' for his meaningless movements.

The second season was even gloomier. He played 38 games, but only scored three goals and two assists. To make matters worse, he was involved in the assault case and was not able to play for a while. Injuries overlapped and sluggishness continued.




This season has been even worse. Coach Ten Hach, who supported Antony until the end, eventually lost patience and was even replaced to make matters worse. Coach Hoobeng Amorim looked for use by testing him as a wing-back after taking office, but he was also sluggish. In the end, it was classified outside of electricity.

United put Antony on the market, but no team wanted him. High transfer fees and salaries were the problem. All the teams that showed interest disappeared. But Betis was serious. Betis eventually brought Antony on loan from the January transfer market.

This lease has become a stroke of genius. Antony succeeded in his revival. The de-Manchester United effect was enormous. He scored nine goals and five assists in 26 games. Antony was one of the best players in Spain's Primera Liga in the second half of the year. Betis, who led Antony's performance, succeeded in participating in the Europa League by ranking sixth.




Antony returned to Manchester United after the end of his loan spell. There was no place to stand. Coach Hoobeng Amorim made a new decision and started to clean up five troublemakers, including Antony, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho. Rashford has already left for Barcelona. Sancho is also connected to Juventus and Dortmund.

Antony received a lot of love calls for his performance in the second half of last season. Brazil's prestigious Botafogu and Sao Paulo wanted him back. Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, also showed interest in recruiting Antony. But it was all rejected by Antony.

But there was only Betis in Antony's chest. Antony is playing for Betis and intends to challenge for the next World Cup. Antony says Betis can also cut his salary. Betis also wants Antony. However, it is reported that Betis has not been able to offer the transfer fee that Manchester United wants. United currently want £30m. It is 65% lower than the ransom at the time of recruitment, and Manchester United is in a position that it cannot give up this much.

In the end, he took out the last card. ABC says 'Manchester United doesn't want to get caught up in Betis' strategy. I don't want to make sure that only certain clubs are his destination'Eventually Antony and Betis have an advantage over time. The reason why Manchester United nailed the timing until the opening of the Premier League is '. Betis currently wants a move after loan.
