It is said that Man United Flop Antony expressed his desire to stay in Real Betis beyond summer.
Antony, 25, has been revitalized since he joined Betis on the loan of United in January, scoring three goals and adding two assists in just seven games.
The temporary movement of the end to Spain occurred after it fought badly in Old Trafford after its movement of £ 85 million ajax in the summer of 2022, and the Brazilian was found on the periphery under Erik Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.
In fact, Antony scored only 12 goals and added five assists in 96 games for the Red Devils despite being the second most expensive firm of the club of all time.
His performances in LaLiga have led Betis to the European qualification, which included an impressive 2-1 victory against Real Madrid over the weekend, while they are also in the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League.
And, according to the CEO of Betis, Ramon Alarcon, Antony has expressed his desire to remain in the long -term club.

Betis does not have the option of buying Antony within the loan agreement, although they are covering 84 percent of their salary, which means that any movement could be within financial reach.
“The other day, Antony told me that he wanted to stay another year,” Alarcon told El Pelotazo Show of Canal Sur.
“The player is very comfortable here and was surprised by the facilities we gave him to settle in the city as soon as he arrived.”
Antony's form has been so impressive that he has been inclined to return to the Brazilian team, with the last international appearances of the 25 -year -old two years ago in March 2023.
Antony represented Brazil in the 2022 World Cup and has won 16 caps for the Selecao, but his way in United saw him fall through the international hierarchical order.
A permanent movement to ensure regular football will be particularly relevant to the extreme since the 2026 World Cup takes place at the end of the next season.
Whatever happens, Antony is expected to go to the summer and his performances in Spain have put him in the store window.
His time at Old Trafford had initially begun brilliantly in 2022, since he scored three goals in his first three league games after linking with his former Ajax Ten Hag chief.
Antony has scored three goals and added two assists in just seven games for the Spanish team.
Antony played only 135 minutes in the Premier League for United in the first half of the season
However, his performances below the pair saw him fall out of disgrace and appeared only eight times in the Premier League during the first half of the 2024-25 season, playing only 135 minutes of action in total.
The former Sao Paulo star scored only five higher flight goals for the Red Devils, although he won both the Capao Cup and the FA Cup during his time in the club.
United returns to action on Thursday when they travel to the true society in the first leg of its Europa League clash the last 16.
Meanwhile, Betis faces the Portuguese part of Vitoria Guimaraes in the Conference League.
