What’s next for Anthony after Manchester United’s nightmare spell?

Anthony could eventually become an interesting signing for Betis if he can regain his confidence and return to his best, although it’s also fair to say United fans wouldn’t be upset at all by him leaving.

The 24-year-old is sure to go down as one of the top teams in the Premier League in recent times, considering the amount MUFC have spent on him.
