There is little doubt Antony has played his way into the hearts of Real Betis supporters after his half season in the Betis shirt. In a few La Liga rounds, the exiled United winger played his way to a nomination for the Player of the Month title, this after being named player of the match several times. There is little doubt that Antony has no place in the hearts of United supporters. Now there are reports of an extension – at Manchester United.
Sounds completely on the face, but there is a good explanation behind it.

According to Estadio Deportivo, Antony has signalled he is open to extending his contract with Manchester United – to facilitate his move to Real Betis this summer. The Spanish club have done their utmost to secure a deal with United for the winger. The Brazilian has reciprocated their interest, as he has rejected all purchases that have come his way in this window. However, the two clubs are unable to reach an agreement, and United’s valuation of the €40 million player acts as an obstacle. With the final days of the transfer window approaching, United are discussing plans for Antony’s contract renewal to secure their resource in the next window, reports the Spanish media.
Then we’ll see. United fans don’t have to be shocked if Manchester United extend with one of the club’s most expensive flops, the Brazilian won’t be returning anyway.
