Antony’s Betis Comeback: What’s Behind the Sudden Turnaround?
Antony’s ability to change games with individual brilliance is back. His link-up play with Isco and Nabil Fekir (yet another player who found his feet at Betis after a troubled period) has been fluid and imaginative, and his defensive work rate, once a point of criticism, has improved significantly. Betis have built their European run around players who, like Antony, were written off elsewhere but have found new life in Seville.
From liability to asset
Antony’s transformation has not gone unnoticed in Manchester. While United fans may still harbor skepticism, club executives now face a dilemma. Antony’s loan to Betis was not structured with a buy option—because few believed at the time that he would regain this level. But now, with his value restored and the possibility of selling him for a substantial fee, United must decide: is Antony’s future back in England, or will they cash in?
