The president of Real Betis gives an update on Antony's future as the team advances to the Europa Conference League final and the revitalised Man United loanee shines once more.

The president of Real Betis has stated that talks with Manchester United are planned for the end of the current campaign in an attempt to retain Antony.
With Betis securing a Europa League Conference final match with Chelsea, the Brazilian is back to his best.
The 25-year-old, who had a turbulent period at Manchester United, scored a spectacular free kick and assisted Abde Ezzalzouli in scoring the game-winning goal in extra time as the Seville-based team eliminated Fiorentina from the semifinals.
The rejuvenated winger, who has already scored eight goals and claimed five assists since joining Betis in January, had his most recent man of the match performance.
His constant bravery has garnered positive praise, and fans are clamouring for him to stay with the team longer.
In an attempt to retain the Manchester United loanee past the summer, club president Angel Haro has now disclosed that negotiations are underway.
"The sporting director put his name on the table," Haro said to Cope. Because Manchester United covered nearly all of the salaries, it was a low-cost strategy.
The athlete desired to visit Betis. There was no room for negotiation, it was a pure loan, and it was quite inexpensive for Betis.
"Keeping Antony is really, really difficult." In order to split a portion of the player, we will meet with Manchester United to prolong the loan for one additional year. It's about observing the player's and Manchester United's inclinations.
Manchester United applies the first filter before the player is negotiated, but that is still a long way off.
Furthermore, the player is now interested in winning a title with Betis. If this alternative becomes available, he will be able to contribute when the time comes and the season is over.
After spending £86 million to join United from Ajax, Antony only managed 12 goals and five assists in 96 games for the team.
He has stated that he feels personal problems prevented him from performing at his best, and he is still getting better away from Old Trafford.
He acknowledged that his performances fell well short of the level that had earned him a move to Manchester and a spot in the Brazil team for the 2022 World Cup.
"I think that because of the things I went through and the times I lived there, my personal life got in the way a lot, aside from my football life," Antony stated.
Whether I like it or not, it has had a big impact on me. I am aware of my potential, of course.
I know my value, and it's not for nothing that I attended a World Cup and that I was sold to United for a high price.
"People focus on the here and now, but they don't consider the bigger picture or what causes things to happen."
"There were both good and bad times for me at United, as I mentioned before, but I could have done more and better, of course."
His outstanding display against Fiorentina follows a spectacular goal in stoppage time over the weekend, and he appears to be a different player than the one at Old Trafford.
"The future?" He recently remarked, "I'm really happy here, but it's very early; I don't know what's going to happen."
I've discovered that I like football. Even though I had better offers, I chose to go where I knew I would be pleased since it's crazy right now and I know how talented I am.
With four La Liga games left, Betis sits in sixth position, one point behind Villareal in fifth and final Champions League qualifying.
