Nevertheless, Antony does not hold any resentment against Amorim and labeled the Portuguese as a “very good coach” while sharing his future plans.

We had a good relationship, only I needed a new challenge. I wish you the greatest luck in the world for this final of the season,” said Antony ESPN Brazil.
Media reports in Europe have suggested that Antony wanted to continue playing for Betis next season. He has already scored four goals and made five assists for Betis in 16 games. The 25 -year -old winger was also used to coach Manuel Pellegrini.

However, some reports indicated that United has rejected Betis’ offers to extend Antony’s loan agreement. United has asked for 30 million pounds sterling ($ 40 million). They had spent 85 million pounds Sterling ($ 113 million) on Antony in 2022.
