What happened to Antony at Manchester United.
Real Betis, where Antony is playing, won 2-1 in the 25th round of Spain's La Liga in the 2024-2025 season against Getafe at the Estadio Coliseum in Getafe, Spain, at 2:30 a.m. on the 24th (Korea time). The victory lifted Betis to seventh place in the league.
One of the main players who led Betis to victory was Antony. In the 18th minute of the first half, Antony showed great fighting spirit in a loose ball situation and brought a goal. Antony, who quickly crossed into the Getafe camp, calmly handed the pass to Isco after waiting for his teammates. Isco scored the opening goal after a fantastic turn.
This allowed Antony to continue his crazy performance with three goals and two assists in six games since Betis' transfer. There was no ups and downs in Antony's performance. It's completely different from Manchester United's days. The player's play made him relaxed, and the threatening movements that were not found in Manchester United came out well.
Antony showed his presence on the right in the 18th minute of the second half. Antony, who escaped well into the space by exchanging fantastic one-two passes with Isco, created a good scoring opportunity from the square. He tried to shoot over the goalkeeper's head, but was blocked by a good defense.
Betis widened the gap by even scoring Isco's penalty. He allowed a chase goal, but Betis' victory became likely. However, just before the end of the game, Antony was sent off directly with an unnecessary back tag.
Antony did not attempt to hurt his opponent, but it was a back tackle, so the referee ordered him to leave. Antony was playing hard as he blew up the post-Manchester United effect, but he won't be able to play for a while.
Still, Betis is really benefiting from the effect of recruiting Antony. Manchester United officials would not have expected Antony to perform so well. It is hard to believe that the worst recruit brought in for 95 million euros (about 142.9 billion won) is performing so well as soon as he changes his team.
As a result, it is also beneficial for Manchester United. United are preparing to sell Antony in the coming summer. If Antony couldn't do it at Betis, the sale itself would have been difficult. If Antony shows good performance and proves his ability, a good proposal may come as interest grows.
