Antony completes Real Betis move to end Manchester United nightmare

Antony has completed his loan switch to Real Betis.

It brings to an end a disastrous two-and-a-half year spell at Manchester United in which the Brazilian winger became a symbol for the club's wastefulness in the transfer market.

Antony joined United in 2022 for a reported fee €95m - the third-largest amount ever paid by the Old Trafford outfit.

But the 24-year-old never hit the heights expected under Erik ten Hag and has been quickly pushed out by new boss Ruben Amorim.

Antony now joins the Seville-based outfit on an initial six-month loan deal with an option to buy.

Real Betis are currently 12th in LaLiga having won six of their 20 games so far this term.
