Antony Considered Retirement Before Betis Revival

Manchester United winger Antony has revealed that his struggles at the club led him to consider retiring from football, as he endured days without eating and lost his passion for the game. After moving to Real Betis on loan in January, Antony scored nine goals and provided five assists in 25 appearances, helping Betis finish sixth in La Liga and reach the Conference League final, where they lost to Chelsea. His impressive performances have made him a fan favorite in Seville, with Betis' players and fans expressing strong interest in keeping him permanently. Antony credits his time at Betis with restoring his happiness and love for football after a period of intense criticism and isolation at Manchester United. His future remains uncertain due to his contract with Manchester United and potential transfer fee. Both clubs are now considering options regarding his next move.
