I believe Amorim is not suited to Antony's style of play, or conversely, Antony is not suited to the game in the United team.
He did not develop at United and as a coach of course Amorim will think about replacing him. Regarding Antony who played well at Betis, because he is suited to his team's game. Or maybe the competition in the team favors him more.
It would also be good if he made a positive contribution to his current team. If not, maybe Betis will also regret borrowing him. If they are satisfied, of course, there will be a purchase option that can be done.
Real Betis is actually feeling satisfied to have him in their club because he has indeed contributed greatly to the development of the club since he joined this season. For a buy option to take place here, I feel he will just need to push further and make it happen. He is doing well here and have enough playing time and contributing to the success of the team. Returning Manchester United will not be a good move for him, so he’ll likely want to be bought here and continue his career here.
This is true. The season is still long, there are still about 12 matches to play and a lot can happen in 12 matches. Barcelona still have to play Atletico, Madrid and Bilbao, all these are very tough matches at a crucial point of the season, but with how Barcelona have been playing, I think they will hold on till the end.
It only take a little or one mistake if occurred to replace Barcelona from their first place on the table but they need to also maintain some confidence and consistency in their games in order to remain vigorous on their position. La Liga is still very much in a big contention for the league title and any of the top three teams still has a chance to win the title.
