Antony’s time at Manchester United has been anything but smooth, with the Brazilian winger struggling to justify his hefty price tag since arriving from Ajax.
Despite showing flashes of brilliance early on, his lack of consistency and productivity in the final third left fans frustrated.
His time under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim has been marred by poor form, with questions over his decision-making and end product.

With just one goal and two assists in all competitions for United this season, it was clear that a change of scenery was needed to revive his confidence.
A move to Real Betis on loan provided Antony with a fresh start, and early signs suggest it has been a turning point.
The Brazilian has hit the ground running in Spain, scoring two goals in his first three games across all competitions and earning two Man of the Match awards in La Liga.
His performances have been sharper, his dribbling more decisive, and his attacking threat more consistent than anything he had shown in recent months at Old Trafford.
While his long-term future remains uncertain, his resurgence at Betis has at least reopened the conversation about whether he could still have a role under Amorim at United.

Antony’s agent, Emerson Pedroso, spoke on his transfer and confirmed that the player had multiple options but chose Betis as the best fit.
“Saudi and Premier League clubs wanted him, but Real Betis was the best solution—he’s so happy there,” Pedroso told GiveMeSport.
He also clarified that, “There’s NO buy option and he respects Amorim a lot… his future at Man United remains an open story,” meaning Antony remains contracted to United despite the temporary switch.
Pedroso emphasized that Antony continues to hold great respect for Ruben Amorim, leaving the door open for a possible return.
His future at United remains undecided, and his performances in La Liga could determine what happens next.
