Manchester United lost in-form right winger Amad Diallo this week, with the 22-year-old being reimbursed early this season with an ankle ligament injury. The Manchester Evening News reports that Amorim has an option to consider recalling Antony, who was loaned to Real Betis in January, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Anthony officially announced his arrival at Betis on January 25 on a loan until the end of the season. He found his form after joining La Liga, scoring two goals in three games and being voted La Liga Player of the Match twice. "When you're happy, everything falls into place." Anthony said, "My head, my heart, told me that I was going to be happy here."

His agent had a similar idea. Júnior Pedrosso added: "Success is possible because Anthony is very, very happy. He's really happy and you can feel it on and off the pitch. He's able to adapt very quickly, which is absolutely crucial, and that means we made the best choice."

It is reported that there is no buyout clause in Anthony's lease contract, but it is not known whether there is a clause for a mid-course recall. In terms of Premier League rules, this is allowed, and players on loan can return to the club at any time, subject to a minimum number of days on loan. According to the specific provisions, a player can only return after 28 days after the loan agreement is reached. In Anthony's case, it will only be possible to do this next Saturday, February 22.

Of course, it is unlikely that United will adopt this strategy in reality, as it will interrupt Antony's good development, and his return to his parent club will not necessarily continue his good momentum in La Liga, especially if he does not secure a main team. Lingard, who was on loan at West Ham United in the past and became the "King of the Woods", has made a lose-lose decision on the bench after his return.

Anthony's agent explained: "When we started thinking and planning for Anthony's loan deal, we knew it was a short-term project. So, the question of concern is whether he and his family can adapt quickly and find a style of play that suits his characteristics. Everyone agreed, and after that, we mapped out the team he could play for and came to the conclusion that Betis was the ideal destination. Spanish football suits Antony's technical and physical characteristics, and he has more freedom on the pitch to use his skills and improve his attacking efficiency. So we agreed to join and Manchester United approved the transfer."

It is reported that Antony could have had a chance to stay in England, but he believes La Liga will allow him to recover. 'I can tell you that clubs from England also want Antony and he has a chance to stay in the Premier League, but we prefer Betis.' Pedrosso continued, "We have also been approached by a Saudi Arabian professional league team for a potential transfer, which is another option, but Spain is the best option for the player."

The agent insists Antony still wants to return to United to prove himself, but that could be the summer. He made overtures to Amorim on behalf of his players.

"Anthony has a lot of respect for Amorim, that's for sure." 'But we understood in January that his time at the club was not ideal, and United felt that a loan out was the best way to get back into form. Betis doesn't have a buyout clause, but I believe that football is changing quickly and there is no need to plan for the long term. His story with Manchester United may or may not be a few chapters away. The future is open and that will depend on many factors, including the club and the decisions he makes in the near future."

Manchester United are said to be hoping to sell Antony for a €35 million transfer fee, which will require him to continue to shine at Betis and La Liga, rather than returning to Old Trafford to sit on the bench and make up for the numbers.
