Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has come out to say that Antony wanted revenge after his failed Manchester United spell. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Antony definitely did all he could to succeed with the Red Devils, but he couldn’t do much at the club because he wasn’t happy in England.
Pellegrini added that the Brazilian forward’s ability on the pitch was never in doubt, but the price tag he was bought for clearly weighed him down.
“I think that Anthony did all that he could to do. I spoke with him before he came to Betis. He told me that he was not playing because he was not happy. Also, he wanted revenge. We know he can do it, but it is not easy when you pay 100m for a player. Antony is a great player, and it was a good time in Betis, improving in his career.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
