Three months after his loan move to Real Betis, Antony has spoken about his relationship with Man United manager Ruben Amorim.
Despite being the Red Devils' second-most-expensive signing ever, Antony only managed to score 12 goals and provide 5 assists in 96 games for the club.
After his £85 million move from Ajax in 2022, Antony struggled to find his footing at Old Trafford under both Erik ten Hag and Amorim. The Brazilian's difficulties led to a temporary move to Spain.
However, the 25-year-old winger has scored four goals and provided four assists in 16 games for Betis, having rediscovered his form since joining them from United in January.
