It's unexpected! Manchester United are considered two of the most "wasted" players to shine in the semi-finals of European competition. In the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Manchester United beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away, and the 14th in the Premier League beat the 4th in La Liga, which shocked fans. Casemiro struggled to move an inch in the Premier League, playing comfortably against the top four teams in La Liga, and scored a goal; A striker like Hojlen, who is disliked by Manchester United fans, is in front of the Athletic Bilbao backline, that is, a striker, a complete bridgehead, holding the ball very steadily, although he did not score, but made a red dot package. Manchester United waiver Antony made a world wave in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final, helping Betis beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home to get ahead of the UEFA Europa League final.
Manchester United signed Antony from Ajax for a transfer fee of 95 million euros in the summer window of 2022, but the Brazilian winger's failure to adapt to the Premier League, coupled with off-field factors such as domestic violence, led to Antony's lack of form at Manchester United, and he could not play under Ten Hag and Amorim, so the player chose to join Betis on loan in this winter window. It's really a tree that moves the dead and the dead move the living, Anthony plays like a fish in water at Betis, and the traffic is responsible for La Liga.
Since Anthony switched to Betis in January this year, he has made 12 appearances in La Liga and started all of them, with three goals and two assists; UEFA Europa League appearances 7 starts, 3 goals and 2 assists; Six goals and four assists in 19 games, which is a very good statistic for a winger.
According to the latest news from Spain's Channel Six reporter Marcos Benito, Atletico Madrid are very interested in Antony, who is Simeone's favorite player, and asked about the player, Manchester United are willing to sell Antony for 40 million to 50 million euros in this summer window. However, Antony is currently valued at 20 million euros in Germany, so Atletico still have a lot of room to bargain.
Finally, the soul asks, is Antony suitable for Atletico's tactics? Maybe Anthony will be reborn in La Liga and play back to the top of his game.
