AnthonyHis agent said he was “completely different” Manchester United Coach Robin Amorim analysis that his client lacks the physical need to compete in Premier League.
Brazil’s wing, which joined True Betis On a A six -month loan from United In January, he scored only 12 goals in 96 games with Red Devils since it was converted to 85 million pounds ($ 109 million) from AJAX in 2022.
Amorim said that Anthony has struggled because of the material demands of the Premier League.
“We respect the opinion of coach Robin Amorim, but we are completely different with his analysis,” Anthony Jenior Pedoso’s client told Marka.
“Linking Anthony’s lack of success in Manchester United only to the issue of fitness is a very superficial argument and does not comply with reality.”
According to Pedroso, Amorim, who took over the training function in United in November, has not given an opportunity to prove its value.
“The truth is that Anthony had no sufficient importance or confidence to show his best football,” he said. “Of the 15 games in which Amorim Manchester United managed, Anthony used only nine, with a total of 252 minutes played. This represents only 18.6 % of the total possible minutes (1350 minutes). How can you judge an athlete without enough time to show his value?”
Anthony said last month that his move to Betis was What his career needs After no effect on Old Trafford.
Anthony has achieved immediate success in Betis, scoring two goals and creating two others in five Laliga appearances.
“It was an incredible experience for him and his family.” Pedoso said. “It seems that he was in Betis for years, so he was his natural adaptation. He feels completely comfortable in Seville and made him happy in the city and the club. All this reinforces the decision was completely correct.
“Laja was the perfect destination … Betis is a competitive team, and he has a style of play that adapts well with the characteristics of Anthony and experienced coach like Manuel Pellegrini, who knows how to achieve the utmost benefit from the attackers.”
The loan deal that took Anthony to Betis did not include a choice for the Spanish club to make his stay permanently this summer.
However, Betis has already made it clear They are keen on Anthony To continue the outfit, which is based in Seville next season.
The 25 -year -old has a contract with United until June 2027.
