Ever since he joined Manchester United, Anthony Mathias has felt as if he were in a complex parallel universe. According to the English media, during his years with Ajax, he weighed up the possibility of joining Liverpool and preferred Kopp to Mohamed Sana. Unfortunately, this single deal did not materialize and Liverpool failed to get their way.
Looking back to 2022, Liverpool were on the verge of leaving the club as both sides stood on the brink of a contract extension row with top man Mohamed Shana. At the time, Coach Gopp had been interested in signing Anthony rather than the Egyptian shot-stopper. Gopu's past vision was unique as he had unearthed and made Shana, Shadio Vinny and Andrew Robathan, turning a stone into gold. However, Ajax's asking price was too high, and Liverpool were short of cash, so they eventually had to call it quits. Manchester United then welcomed Anthony back for €100 million to complete the deal.
Shana, on the other hand, dramatically extended his contract with Liverpool for another three years to continue playing for the team. Meanwhile, Anthony, who was a favorite of former Red Devils coach Tannhäuser, has not done as well as he would have liked at United. Since joining, he has played 87 games and scored 12 goals. This season, he has only started one game, and even his mentor, Tannhäuser, is disappointed in him. The new coach, Ruben Emolian, doesn't seem to be too keen on the "round rule" either. Rumor has it that Emory is interested in selling Anthony, even going so far as to offer a mandatory sellout clause and a loan to another team. However, Anthony is determined to stay, and he wants to prove his value to Emolian with his actions, and although the road of "sending the Buddha" is difficult, he is determined to give it a try.
