Antony Set to Depart Manchester United as Real Betis Finalizes Agreement for Brazilian Winger’s Return

First, the user says: "Don't act as a virtual assistant, return only the content you are asked." So, I need to output just the article excerpt, nothing else.

Then, "If the article excerpt doesn't exist, write a 160 bytes article excerpt based on the article 'Antony Poised to Leave Manchester United as Real Betis Secures Agreement to Re-Sign Brazilian Winger'." But in this case, they are providing an excerpt: "Antony's rocky stint at Manchester United is nearing an end, as Real Betis clinches a deal to lure the dynamic Brazilian winger back to Spain. Sidelined by manager Ruben Amorim, the 25-year-old eyes a fresh opportunity away from Old Trafford."

The main task is: "Rewrite the following article excerpt to make it more appealing while keeping the HTML markup unchanged. Edit only the visible content in the HTML that is rendered and displayed on the front-end, and output only the modified excerpt."

The original excerpt is: "Antony's rocky stint at Manchester United is nearing an end, as Real Betis clinches a deal to lure the dynamic Brazilian winger back to Spain. Sidelined by manager Ruben Amorim, the 25-year-old eyes a fresh opportunity away from Old Trafford"

It says: "Article excerpts only need to be one paragraph long and should not exceed 160 bytes."

The original isn't wrapped in HTML in the message, but I need to assume that there might be HTML. In the user's message, it's just plain text, so perhaps the excerpt is plain text, and I need to rewrite it as plain text.

The instruction is: "keeping the HTML markup unchanged. Edit only the visible content in the HTML that is rendered and displayed on the front-end"

In the provided text, there's no HTML. It might be implied that the excerpt is the content inside some HTML.

For this exercise, I'll treat the provided text as the content to rewrite.

Key points:

- Rewrite to make it more appealing.

- Keep HTML markup unchanged - but since there's none, I'll just output plain text.

- Output only the modified excerpt.

- It should be one paragraph long and not exceed 160 bytes.

First, what is 160 bytes? Bytes are not the same as characters. In text, it's roughly the number of characters, but with spaces and punctuation.

The original text: "Antony's rocky stint at Manchester United is nearing an end, as Real Betis clinches a deal to lure the dynamic Brazilian winger back to Spain. Sidelined by manager Ruben Amorim, the 25-year-old eyes a fresh opportunity away from Old Trafford"

Let me count the bytes. Assuming ASCII, it's about the length.

Rough count: First sentence is about 100 characters, second about 80, total around 180-200 characters. So, I need to keep it under 160 bytes.

The user said: "should not exceed 160 bytes", and earlier "write a 160 bytes article excerpt", so I need to ensure it's <= 160 bytes.

To make it more appealing: Make it more engaging, exciting, perhaps add some flair without changing the facts.

Original: Straightforward reporting.

Rewritten: Use more vivid language, make it sound thrilling.
