The Brazilian insisted that the best decision he made was to leave Manchester United and move Spain's Primeraggi to Real Betis. Antony moved from Ajax in the Netherlands in the summer of 2022 when manager Erik ten Haach took the helm of Manchester United. The transfer fee was 85.5 million pounds (about 163 billion won).
It was the second most expensive recruit in Manchester United's history after Paul Pogba. But it was a nightmare for Manchester United. Antony scored four goals in 25 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season. The competition time was 1817 minutes.
I tried to turn it around last season, but it crashed further. He was also caught up in 'domestic violence' and scored only one goal in 29 EPL matches. His playing time was only 1,322 minutes.
Antony was rumored to return to Ajax last summer, but it did not become a reality. While Ten Haq was replaced in October last year, he was only replaced by eight games in the EPL due to injuries this season. The playing time was 133 minutes. He has no goals in the EPL.

Betis is enjoying the effect of recruiting Antony. It is ranked 6th in La Liga. There is no problem playing in the European Grand Prix next season, and tickets to the European Champions League, which is the top of the list, are being lowered.
However, Antony's loan is due this season. Betis is desperate to sign on loan for another season. Antony plans to hold talks with Manchester United on a long-term future this month.
However, it seems clear that Manchester United is not in their minds. Antony says "The best decision I've ever made is to come to Betis. I'm happy. Everything goes well when you're happy" he said. It is too early to talk about one's future. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I'm really happy here"I believed in my talent, and I prioritized going to a place where I could be happy, even though I had better offers."," he stressed.
Antony also added "It's important to score goals and assist, but what's more important is to be happy." Antony's love calls are also pouring in. Atletico Madrid is also looking for a full recruitment.
It has been argued that Antony's transfer fee is between 34 million pounds (about 63 billion won) and 43 million pounds (about 79.4 billion won). However, Betis is not enough to cover his ransom.
