In La Liga, Betis defeated Espanyol 2-1.

Betis’s away supporters went into a frenzy when the Brazilian cut in from the right side and then curled the ball into the top left corner from the edge of the box.

Following his loan stint in Spain, the 25-year-old, who spent a dreadful time at Old Trafford after coming for £86 million in 2022, has been rejuvenated.

He joined the Seville-based team in January and has since scored seven goals and provided four assists.

Betis supporters are clamoring for him to stay with the team longer because of his outstanding performances.

After the former Ajax player scored an incredible half-volley to give Betis victory against Fiorentina in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final, club icon Joaquin even made a joke about kidnapping Antony to keep him at the club.

Joaquin stated, “I’ll give the car if he has to be kidnapped, but let him stay no matter what,” following Betis’ triumph.

“Now is the time to have fun.” I believe significant events will occur; we’ll see.

Real Betis’s win means they are now just one point behind Villareal, who sit in La Liga’s fifth and final Champions League qualification spot, with just four fixtures remaining this campaign. Manuel Pellegrini’s side travel to Fiorentina for their Europa Conference League second leg on Thursday, having won the first 2-1.

Meanwhile, Manchester United remain in 15th, two points above 17th placed West Ham, after their 4-3 loss to Brentford on Sunday. Betis are interested in another loan move for Antony, while Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid may attempt to sign him permanently, according to El Chiringuito, who report that United are demanding between £34m and £42m for his services.

It is unclear whether Antony will have a future at United, despite the fact that he has two years left on his contract.

The winger only managed to score 12 goals in 96 games while struggling for consistency in Manchester.

“My ‘personal life’ affected my performances for the Red Devils,” the winger claimed in an interview with ESPN Brazil.

He acknowledged that his performances fell well short of the level that had earned him a move to Manchester and a spot in the Brazil team for the 2022 World Cup.

“I think that because of the things I went through and the times I lived there, my personal life got in the way a lot, aside from my football life,” Antony stated.

Whether I like it or not, it has had a big impact on me. I am aware of my potential, of course.

I know my value, and it’s not for nothing that I attended a World Cup and that I was sold to United for a high price.

“People focus on the here and now, but they don’t consider the bigger picture or what causes things to happen.”

“There were both good and bad times for me at United, as I mentioned before, but I could have done more and better, of course.”
