Manchester United Flop Antony has recovered his shape during his loan spell with the Spanish side Real Betis and it does not seem that a return from Old Trafford is on his agenda for the time being on his agenda
Antony insists that he has no bad feelings towards Manchester United who apparently has drawn a line under his rotten spell at Old Trafford. The Brazilian winger joined the Red Devils for a first £ 86 million from Ajax in September 2022.
But he has endured a disastrous time of things with United. Antony, 25, only scored 12 goals in 96 performances for the club before he was shipped to the Spanish side in January. Real betis on loan.
And he has finally shown some of his best form in La Liga that scored four goals and has achieved four assists in just 11 trips in all competitions. His future, however, remains in the air, where Betis has no obligation or option to buy.
If they want to keep him, they should re -open the negotiations with United about another loan or a permanent deal. And it seems that Antony has made a decision about his future after he has underlined his dedication to Betis, but has refused to blame United for his misery at Old Trafford.
Speaking with Dazn, De Brazilian said: “If they pay for that kind of money for you, it is because you have talent and quality. Wherever I go, I will always speak a lot about United.
“I am very grateful to the club and for Erik ten Hag for what we have experienced together, for the titles, and for everything I have learned. I had difficult times there, but also very good. I think it prepared me to be here today, to enjoy it. My mind is very happy.”
The shape of Antony in Spain is far removed from the desperate versions he submitted for United. In an attempt to find an explanation for his reversal in Fortuinen, he thinks a change in the climate has helped.
He added: “I thought myself, I had to find myself and be happy. I also needed my family to be happy. Every day that passes, I see that it was the best decision I could have made. I enjoy the city, the club and everything.

“It reminds me a lot of Brazil because of the sun, the food, the people are also very happy. That is all important for someone like me who is used to it.”
And although Antony has his own reasons, United Baas Ruben Amorim has offered his thoughts about his improved form and believes that it is due to a lack of physicality in the Spanish competitions. He said: “When you play against every team in England, the physicality is there.
“If you don't have any physicality, you will struggle a lot. Antony is now so much better in Spain. It is [because of] Many factors, but I guarantee that it is physicality. “
But Antony's agent Junior Pedroso was not particularly convinced by those comments and therefore came back. He said: “We respect the opinion of coach Ruben Amorim, but we completely disagree with his analysis. The lack of success of Antony at United exclusively to physicality is a very superficial argument and does not reflect the reality.”
