Man United winger Antony desires to finalise his permanent departure from Old Trafford in this summer transfer window while Real Betis and Real Sociedad prepare for a competition to acquire his services. The Brazilian player who moved to Betis on loan in January has impressed their manager Manuel Pellegrini after scoring four goals alongside four assists in his ten matches. At the end of the season Antony will return to United but recent reports indicate he attempts to permanently leave Old Trafford. Betis competes alongside Sociedad as potential suitors who may engage in a falling-out for his services before the upcoming 2025-26 football season.
Real Sociedad Joins Race For Antony As Man United Plan Summer Sales
The financial state of Man United requires their summer sale of players including Antony as one of ten first team members who could leave. Real Betis would face challenges maintaining a permanent deal for their Brazilian player after his strong current performance at the club. The fight for his transfer has intensified due to Real Sociedad entering as competitors. Under United’s guidance the team’s coach Ruben Amorim pointed out Antony’s problems at Old Trafford to be related to his physical weaknesses. Playing against any team in England requires extreme physical abilities since the game becomes intense according to the coach. Real Sociedad find themselves competing with various teams to acquire his services according to Amorim in his interview with TNT Sports.
Antony’s Agent Refutes Amorim’s Claims As Winger Shines At Real Betis
Antony’s representative Junior Pedroso denied Man United coach Ruben Amorim’s claim that physical inability explained the player’s underperformance at Old Trafford. Pedroso told Marca that their viewpoint contrasts entirely with what coach Ruben Amorim stated about Antony the winger. The explanation of Antony’s Man United struggles as due to physicality lacks depth and reality from a realistic perspective. Antony has continued to perform well at Real Betis in recent matches by scoring a goal with an assist during their 4-0 Conference League win over Vitoria de Guimaraes along with scoring and assisting twice in La Liga since then as Betis won their previous four league matches.
