Manchester United hopes to recover £42.5 million on Anthony, Betis says the player has verbally promised to stay in the team

According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United hopes to recover £42.5 million on Anthony, which is equivalent to half of his transfer fee for joining Manchester United three years ago. Betis said that the player himself has verbally promised to stay in the team.

Anthony scored another goal in this round of La Liga. He cut in stoppage time to score a world-class goal, helping Betis reverse Espanyol 2-1 and scored a key 3 points.

In this way, Betis ranked 6th with 57 points after 34 rounds, leading Vallecano 13 points. He has already secured the qualification for European competition next season in advance, and at least there are European Unions who can play.

There are 4 rounds left in La Liga, and Betis is only 1 point behind the fifth Huang Qian. He still has a chance to overtake Huang Qian in the remaining schedule and then qualify for the Champions League. Champions League qualification will add a large budget to Betis signing Anthony.

Since Anthony's performance has been stealing the spotlight since his loan from Betis in the winter window, he has been making headlines from major media reports, contributing 7 goals and 4 assists in 20 games in various competitions.

Anthony's performance in two and a half years at Manchester United has never met expectations, contributing only 12 goals and 5 assists in 96 appearances. According to statistics from

WhoScored, Anthony has created 8 absolute goals in La Liga since early February, with the most players in La Liga.

Although there are rumors that Anthony may try to revive his career at Manchester United, even if Anthony really returns to Manchester United, it is likely that he will not have a highlight performance at Betis.

Manchester United fans must remember that Anthony's first three Premier League games also scored goals in every game, including the signature left-footed goal. But after that, I basically fell silent because the routine was understood.

Take the world wave of Good Night Tony cutting inward at Betis on May 4 as an example. In the Premier League arena, there is probably no Premier League defender who would give Anthony such a calm chance to kick.

You can also recall that Anthony scored an inward cut at Manchester United, or when did it take? This is not to say that La Liga is lower than that of the Premier League, but the La Liga game mode is indeed more suitable for Anthony's specialty.

As long as normal people can see, Anthony and his agent have expressed the differences between the Premier League and La Liga several times, and players must also tend to continue to stay in La Liga. Retiring the team permanently this summer seems to be the most likely option.

Western media relevo reported that Anthony has conquered Betis fans and the team hopes to retain the Brazilian winger. It is understood that Manchester United is also very satisfied with Anthony's performance on loan, whether it is his competitive level or the improvement in value in the transfer market. The better Anthony performs, the more value Manchester United recycles in their players.

If the transfer is formally transferred, Manchester United hopes to sell Anthony for £42.5 million, which is equivalent to half of the transfer fee for Anthony to join Manchester United from Ajax in 2022.

The Manchester Evening News quoted other media reports that Betis said Anthony was eager to stay at the team after the end of this season, and the forward has made a commitment (not written agreement). Betis management is willing to do everything possible to keep Anthony.

However, Betis, who has average financial resources, may not be able to meet this offer, and Manchester United is also prepared to respond and will open bidding.

It is said that Atletico Madrid asked about the player's transfer possibility in April. Spanish media revealed that the offer offered by Atletico for Anthony includes a fixed transfer fee of 45 million euros, plus a floating bonus of 30 million euros.
