Foreign media estadiodeportivo reported that Brazilian player Anthony firmly rejected Manchester United and was determined to return to Betis.
There are only 11 days left before the transfer window is closed. Despite the huge pressure, Brazilian player Anthony once again made it clear that he hoped to play for Betis again. However, achieving this requires a range of special conditions, especially when high-level players like Anthony can resist the pressure of a giant club like Manchester United and choose to return to a team that has only played for six months.
Three months have passed, and Betis realized from the beginning that this problem may have to wait until the summer transfer window is over, but their plans are still moving forward. This is thanks to Anthony's firm determination, who hopes to wear Betis's jersey again. Therefore, no matter what pressure Manchester United takes, such as excluding him in the preseason or threatening to put him on the bench, his determination cannot be shaken. He also rejected all transfer proposals that are economically close to Manchester United's demand (about 40 million euros).
With the transfer window closed for less than two weeks, Anthony once again closed all the doors to Manchester United and made it clear that he only wanted to join Betis. He is willing to wait until the last moment of the transfer window to put on the No. 7 jersey that Betis reserved for him. The latest communication between the
player's agent further narrowed Manchester United's operational space, forcing them to negotiate with Betis. Negotiations include a new loan agreement, increasing player salaries, or buying 50% of the player's ownership for around 20 million euros, so that the two clubs will jointly own the players, but control remains to Betis.
One other option for Manchester United is to try to get Anthony to play on the court, but coach Amorin has not even included him on the roster against Arsenal, which ended in a defeat. Now it all depends on Old Trafford's decision, but the situation has clearly been favorable to Betis. It is worth noting that Anthony's attitude aroused hostility toward him by England fans, which was reflected on social media, making the road seem unfeasible.
