Manchester United winger Antony gave an inconclusive answer when he was asked about his future at the club.
The Brazilian had a terrible season at United, scoring a solitary penalty goal in 14 matches.
He was given the opportunity to play when he went on loan to Real Betis in January and he has not looked back since.
Antony has taken La Liga by storm and has been one of the key members of Los Verdiblancos’ team.
He has scored three goals and provided three assists in just eight games and once more grabbed an assist in Real Betis’ 2-2 draw with Vitoria de Guimaraes in the Conference League on Thursday.
Speaking after the game, Antony elaborated on his future in comments carried by Estadio Deportivo .
The 25 year old first spoke on his latest assist by stating, “it is always important to be part of the goal, the assist, but we have to look at it as a whole, the whole team, and well, we have to be focused.”
He then opened up on his future and claimed, “I don’t know, it’s too early to talk about that, as you say, I’m always enjoying every day here, I’m very happy, very content, and well, that’s always the case.”
The Peoples Person has already relayed that Antony is happy in Sevilla and would want to stay another year at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
United have already signalled they would be willing to sell the winger for €50 million, but it seems highly unlikely that Betis would be able to shell out that sort of money for the Brazilian international.
Nonetheless, it seems that any future under Ruben Amorim looks unlikely after his comments about the player’s lack of physicality enraged Antony’s agent. He retorted that Amorim’s view “does not reflect reality.”
United fans will be hoping that Antony’s rich vein of form continues to generate the best possible price for his sale in the summer to add to United’s own war chest as they are in desperate need to improve their squad in the next transfer window.
