Antony Assesses Real Betis Facilities and Manchester United’s Loan Players Shine: Is Carrington Truly As Negative As Believed?

ANTONY has communicated to Real Betis his willingness to consider the option of prolonging his loan spell from Manchester United for another year.

The 25-year-old Brazilian winger had a tough experience at Old Trafford after his £85 million move from Ajax during the summer of 2022.

Although he faced difficulties, Antony chose to join the Spanish club on loan in January, which has turned out to be a favorable arrangement.

Betis’s CEO, Ramon Alarcon, noted, “Recently, Antony expressed his interest in staying here for another year.

“The player feels very comfortable and was impressed with the facilities we offered to help him adjust to the city following his arrival.”

This announcement has prompted many United fans to question the standards of the facilities at their own training ground.

One supporter lamented: “Is Carrington really that subpar?”

A second mused: “Another player highlighting the inadequate conditions at United.”

Another commentator said, “Surely the amenities at Betis CANNOT be better than those at United.”

Yet another remarked: “Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo was right.”

Currently, Antony is expected to return to United this summer, but an extended stay in Spain is still an option.

His dynamic displays for Betis are certainly attracting the interest of potential suitors.

He has already scored three goals and provided two assists in seven matches for Betis, having had a straight red card decision overturned.

The winger’s mid-season transfer has revitalized him, and he is now striving to regain his place in the Brazil national team.

When he left United for Saudi Arabia in 2022, Ronaldo described Carrington as being “stuck in the past.”

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner stated: “Nothing has changed, surprisingly. Not just the swimming pool or the jacuzzi, but even the gym.

“Even the kitchen, where the chefs, whom I admire – great individuals. They’ve stagnated in time. It surprised me greatly.

“I anticipated seeing upgrades, new technologies, and improved infrastructure.

“Unfortunately, it’s a glimpse of what I encountered when I was 21, 22, and 23 years old. It truly astonished me.”
