Manchester United Loanee Antony Makes an Impact at Real Betis, Shares Thoughts on Amorim
Antony has made an impressive start at Real Betis, scoring his second goal for the club during his Europa Conference League debut on Thursday.
The Brazilian winger joined Betis last month in search of regular playing time after struggling to secure opportunities at Manchester United. Manager Ruben Amorim approved the loan move, believing consistent minutes in Spain would help Antony regain his confidence and form.
Since his high-profile transfer to United in the summer of 2022, Antony has faced challenges in meeting expectations. However, his start in La Liga has been promising. The 24 year old was named Man of the Match in his first two appearances for Betis, providing an assist on his debut and scoring in his second match.
His strong performances continued in European competition as Betis secured a dominant 3-0 win over Gent in the first leg of their play-off tie. Antony opened the scoring in style, cutting inside from the right wing before curling a brilliant shot into the far corner.
Antony’s View on Amorim and His Future
Antony’s agent, Junior Pedroso, recently spoke about the player’s current situation, revealing his honest thoughts on Amorim and his potential return to Manchester United.
Despite speculation that Antony might leave United permanently at the end of the season, Pedroso has kept all possibilities open.
“Saudi and Premier League clubs were interested, but Real Betis was the best option—he’s really happy there,” Pedroso told Fabrizio Romano. “There’s no buy option, and he has great respect for Amorim… His future at Manchester United is still undecided.”
Antony’s mindset suggests he is eager to return to Old Trafford and prove himself after his loan spell. While that determination is admirable, the club’s financial situation could complicate any plans for his l
ong-term future.
