Just to return to Betis! Anthony shows off with Manchester United, and he would rather refuse the high price of Turkish prices and wait for La Liga

Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini publicly called on Manchester United to seriously consider the wishes of player Anthony and allow him to return to La Liga clubs. Brazilian winger Anthony, 24, performed outstandingly during his loan at Betis in the second half of last season, playing for 26 games in total, handing out impressive data of 9 goals and 5 assists. The player himself has made it clear on many occasions that his primary goal this summer is to return to Betis to play.

Manchester United clubs tend to sell Anthony permanently, but Betis struggled to meet his transfer fee requirements. It is reported that La Liga team plans to wait for the transfer window to push for negotiations when it is close, hoping that Manchester United can lower the asking price and accept the loan plan. Pellegrini said in the interview: "Although I did not communicate directly with Anthony, everyone knows how outstanding he performed here. We hope he will return, and the players are eager to return without reservation - now only Manchester United needs to make the final decision as the owner."

It is understood that Betis did not completely rule out the possibility of a permanent transfer, but proposed an installment payment plan with incentive clauses and admitted that he could not afford a high-value cash one-time transaction. Manchester United is currently in a dilemma: if they insist on waiting for a higher offer, they may miss the existing opportunity; if no other clubs propose permanent transfer plans in the future, they will be passive in negotiations with Betis.

ESPN reported that Anthony's strong willingness to return to Betis has directly affected Manchester United's transfer deployment. Although Fenerbahce has expressed his willingness to meet Manchester United's 45 million euro asking price and Manchester United tends to accept it, the player himself refuses to approve the deal. The report further pointed out that Anthony is only open to the return of Betis and is currently waiting for the two clubs to reach an agreement. In addition, the loan intentions proposed by clubs such as Leverkusen, Benfica and Brighton have not shaken the players' determination.
