Antony’s Real Betis love-in away from Man Utd: ‘We’ll crowdfund to bring him back’

Real Betis will need to “crowdfund” to keep Antony beyond his half-season loan from Manchester United, team-mate Isco has suggested.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco was full of praise for arguably the most expensive flop in United’s history after watching him play a lead role in Betis’s 2-1 derby win over Sevilla on Sunday.

“We’ll have to crowdfund to bring him back for another year,” Isco was quoted as saying by Diario de Sevilla. He added: “He’s surprised us all with his humility and the way he helps us. There’s been a change since he arrived, and we have to keep doing things right.
