The best move Antony has ever made, according to him, was leaving Manchester United to sign a loan deal with Real Betis.

The Brazilian had a terrible two and a half years in England, scoring just 12 goals and dishing just five assists in 96 games for the Red Devils after moving to Old Trafford for an eye-watering £86 million from Ajax in 2022.

The 25-year-old, however, has been a revelation since being sent out on loan to the Estadio Benito Villamarin in January. In 20 games for Manuel Pellegrini’s team, he has scored seven goals and provided four assists.

His performance has attracted interest from suitors; according to El Chiringuito, Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid may try to recruit him permanently, while Betis is apparently interested in another loan move.

It is unclear whether Antony will have a future at United, despite the fact that he has two years left on his contract. Additionally, Antony’s most recent remarks regarding his parent club reduced the likelihood of an Old Trafford match.

“Coming to Betis was the best decision I’ve ever made,” he remarked.

I’m content, and when I’m content, things work out nicely.

Although Antony’s remarks would undoubtedly have given Betis hope, they do not have the option to purchase Antony from Man United when his current loan agreement ends at the end of the current campaign.

The club will undoubtedly be eager to recover as much of the £86 million they spent on Antony as they can, and Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim has previously said that decisions about all players currently on loan to other teams will be considered upon their return.

Additionally, Antony said that he still does not know where he will play the following season.

“The future?” I’m really happy here, but it’s very early, and I don’t know what will happen,” he stated.

I’ve discovered that I like football. Even though I had better offers, I chose to go where I knew I would be pleased since it’s crazy right now and I know how talented I am.

With four La Liga games remaining until the season concludes, Betis is now one point outside of the top five La Liga teams that qualify for the Champions League.

As they prepare to face Chelsea or Djurgarden in the final later this month, they also have a 2-1 lead from the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final matchup against Fiorentina.
