Antony Thrives at Real Betis After Manchester United Exit

Antony, on loan from Manchester United to Real Betis, has expressed his happiness and revitalization in Spain after a difficult stint at Old Trafford. Since joining Betis, he has scored three goals and provided an assist in his first four matches, a stark contrast to his performance at United where he struggled for playing time and consistency. In interviews, Antony credited his newfound joy to the supportive environment at Betis, comparing the culture and lifestyle to that of Brazil, and highlighted the influence of teammates like Isco and Giovani Lo Celso. He emphasized the importance of being happy, stating that he wakes up with a smile every day, a feeling he lacked at United. The loan agreement includes an option for Betis to make the move permanent, though United will seek to recover some of the £85 million paid to Ajax for Antony. Despite his success in Spain, he remains grateful for his time at United, acknowledging the titles he won there.
