Force the Red Devils to be the one who cuts his back and asks to release him. Betis watches the fire from the other side of the river to prepare for white P

On August 4, according to the British media Daily Mirror, Manchester United striker Anthony officially forced the club to hold the club, saying that he would not go if he was not Real Betis, hoping to accelerate his transfer to Real Betis in La Liga.

The Daily Mirror revealed that Anthony showed a strong desire to return to Real Betis on all occasions, and officially notified Manchester United's only option was Betis, hoping to advance the transfer process as soon as possible. To this end, the Brazilian Flying Wing has rejected the high-paid invitation from the Brazilian giant Sao Paulo and the Santa Crown tycoon Riyadh Victory Club, and said that he is willing to reduce his salary significantly and return to Betis. In the summer of 2022, Brazilian genius Flying Wing Anthony joined Manchester United from Ajax, with a basic transfer fee of 95 million euros and an additional 5 million euros floating clause, with a total price of up to 100 million euros. This fee makes it the second highest-priced signing in Manchester United's history, second only to Pogba. But his growth at Manchester United is far from meeting club expectations, and he was loaned to Real Betis in La Liga in January 2025. Anthony quickly recovered from form in La Liga, contributing 9 goals and 5 assists in 18 games, becoming the pillar of the team's forward line.

The Daily Mirror speculated that Anthony's showdown to Manchester United might have been due to Real Betis' instruction. Previously, Betis had offered Manchester United twice, with the first offer of 20 million euros, but was rejected by the Red Devils. Later, he wanted to renew Anthony's lease for another year, but at the same time, he had to bear most of Anthony's salary and was not responded to. Manchester United has repeatedly stated that Anthony can be released, but the buyer must meet the club's 40 million euro bottom line.

The Daily Mirror finally stated that while Anthony's forced ward off his own way of retreat, it also further intensified the conflict with the club. Previously, he had become the team's "bomb four-man group" with Garnacho, Sancho and Maracia. He was excluded from the first team and could only form a team to train alone. He was not allowed to enter the club cafeteria to eat. If Manchester United and Betis ultimately fail to reach an agreement, he may face the dilemma of no ball to play in the new season.

Netizens also left messages and expressed their opinions:

Netizen 1: Sweat! Betis doesn't want to pretend anymore, he clearly wants to get a job for nothing!

Netizen 2: Forced to be a ward? Anthony is afraid that he doesn’t have the capital yet! Ronaldo is the lesson of the past.

Netizen 3: Don’t pay? Then go to the reserve team and wait to watch the World Cup.

Netizen 4: Betis really can't afford 40 million, and 30 million is probably all in vain.

Netizen 5: Tell the truth! Anthony's attitude is pretty good. If he really can't do it, is he giving him a chance to try it?

Netizen 6: Anyone who sees Manchester United wants to get it.
