Antony recall option explored after wonder goal for Real Betis as his agent drops hint over Man Utd return

Antony scored in Real Betis' win over Real Sociedad.

Antony scored a stunning goal for Real Betis as he continued his flying start as Manchester United fans ponder whether he should be recalled.

Antony joined Betis on loan until the end of the season after a poor two-and-a-half-year spell at Man United following his £86 million transfer from Ajax.

But he is enjoying life in Spain, having scored three goals in four matches for his new side.

The Brazilian produced a moment of magic to open the scoring in Betis' win over Real Sociedad last weekend.

After his latest goal for Betis, some Man United fans poised the question of whether to bring him back to Old Trafford amid the club's injury crisis.

Amad Diallo, who has starred under Ruben Amorim since his arrival, has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a devastating injury.

Antony, of course, would be a like-for-like replacement.

However, the 24-year-old has been left out of Man United's Premier League squad for the second half of the season, so it doesn't matter if a recall clause has been included in the loan agreement with Betis.

But Antony's agent insists he still has a future at Man United, with there being no buy option clause in his Betis contract.

"I believe that football is very dynamic," Junior Pedroso told GiveMeSport.

"There are no long-term plans to be made. There may still be a few more chapters in his story with Manchester United, or there may not be.

"This will depend on many factors involving decisions by the club and him in the near future.

"Yes, I can confirm there’s no buy option clause in the contract.

"So, Antony will be a Manchester United player from July."

Pedroso added: "Antony respects Amorim a lot, for sure, but we understood in January that his moment at the club was not good.

"So, Manchester United also understood that leaving on loan was the best way for Antony to recover his best form."
