Antony's pass eliminated the supergod De Gea, and the UEFA Cup match against Sancho! Manchester United is expected to sell 50 million

Manchester United knocked out Athletic Bilbao to reach the Europa League final, but the Reds are no slouch as they book their place in the Champions League and UEFA Europa League finals! Darmian will represent Inter Milan in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain for the Big Ears Cup, while Antony will carry Real Betis and former team-mate David De Gea's Fiorentina to reach the final and face Jadon Sancho's Chelsea.

In the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-finals, Betis beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home, and the 100 million euro winger Antony, who Manchester United loaned to the "Green and White Army" in the winter window, scored a crucial second goal with his right foot. After the game, David De Gea exclaimed that he had not seen a right-footed goal in the 1,000 training sessions with the Red Devils.

Back at the Frankie Stadium in the second leg, De Gea was in even more magical form, with Betis' shot, if not hitting the corner, being denied by the 34-year-old Spanish goalkeeper. Anthony and his team-mates once threatened two shots in a row, but they were saved twice by "Duck Daddy".

However, Anthony, who was full of confidence, still had the last laugh. He opened the scoring for Betis with a left-footed free-kick from a "ten-corner" that De Gea couldn't reach. Slow motion showed that the ball bounced into the goal at the center post, which was beyond the goalkeeper's ability to save. If the angle is a little right and the height is a little lower, it could be saved by the supernatural David De Gea.

Although Fiorentina beat Betis 2-1 in regulation time with a brace from Gosens to level 3-3 on aggregate into extra-time, Antony was in charge again, this time setting up team-mate Abboud for the winning goal with a beautiful cross with his own bad right foot. Although De Gea tried to save, he was too close and too powerful, and he couldn't help it.

Antony has taken Betis to the UEFA Cup final against Chelsea, another Manchester United winger on loan, Jadon Sancho. The Blues won the second leg 1-0 and went to the final without any suspense. Antony and Sancho, two parallel goods who used to be nicknamed "200 million together" at Manchester United, will compete directly in the final.

There is no doubt that Antony's performance since his loan in January exceeded United's expectations. Now, the club wants him to sell for a whopping €50 million, which is half the transfer fee he paid when he was brought in from Ajax, but it is enough to ensure that the transfer does not lose money in the financial report.

Betis chief executive Ramón Alarcón had warned United before the game that they could give up if they did not agree to a loan extension and seek to bring in other players. 'Obviously, if anybody bids very high, Antony is a Manchester United player and they have the final say. But we always work with respect and Manu Fajardo gives United a weekly report on the players' training, tactical and fitness reports for the players' matches, and they can see that Betis has done a good job of protecting their assets. We also have to take the commitment of the player and he has 20 days left with the team and he is like a full member of the team. When summer comes, we'll see if there's an option to keep him for another year. If not, we will have to look for someone else, because the important thing is to really be a team member. If it wasn't Anthony, it would have been someone else, but we have to keep competing."

But now the performance of "Round God" is enough for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ruben Amorim to respond to each other: If you don't give money, other teams will rush to ask for it! Other clubs of interest rumored to be mentioned include Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and even Arsenal.

According to the stats, Antony has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 21 appearances in half a season, which has equalled the achievement of his first season after moving to Manchester United. Despite this, Manchester United's plan is to sell Antony permanently, as it will bring much-needed funds to Rajue and will also help Amorim achieve his recruitment targets. Manchester United insist that they will certainly not be forced to sell Antony cheaply.
