Real Betis have wasted no time in adding a bit of spice to their latest transfer business by playfully targeting a prominent Manchester United fan account following the arrival of Brazilian winger Antony on loan.
Antony’s move to the Spanish club comes after an inconsistent stint at Old Trafford.
Signed for a hefty £81 million from Ajax, expectations were sky-high, but the Brazilian struggled to live up to the billing, managing only sporadic flashes of brilliance.
With three starts in all competitions this season, the winger found himself on the fringes under Ruben Amorim, prompting the decision to seek regular minutes elsewhere.

United’s campaign has been one of turmoil so far.
Struggling for consistency in both the Premier League and European competitions, Amorim’s side faces the daunting challenge of climbing up the league table while navigating internal pressures.
Meanwhile, Antony’s exit aligns with the club’s attempts to recalibrate and manage financial constraints amidst tightening Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Betis, on the other hand, are enjoying a relatively solid season in La Liga.
Hovering around European qualification spots, the club has made shrewd additions to bolster their squad.
The signing of Antony, albeit on a loan basis, reflects their ambitions to challenge the league’s heavyweights while injecting dynamism into their attack.
The announcement of Antony’s move sparked significant buzz online, particularly among United fans.
However, Betis ensured they took part in the conversation with a cheeky jab at a popular United fan account.

In response to UTDTrey, a prominent fan-run Twitter handle wishing Antony luck, Betis humorously replied:
“Please don’t wish Antony good luck, @UTDTrey .”
The playful banter quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans of both clubs and showcasing how even light-hearted exchanges can amplify the drama surrounding football transfers.
For Antony, the move represents a fresh start in Spain, while for Betis, it’s a chance to add flair to their squad—and their social media game.
