Antony’s Manchester United Struggles End With Real Betis Move
Antony’s time at Manchester United has officially come to an end, and it feels like the curtain has finally been drawn on what was often described as a nightmare spell for the Brazilian winger. After months of speculation and an uneven run of form in England, a permanent transfer has been agreed with Real Betis for around €25 million. It’s a deal that not only offers Antony a chance to restart his career but also brings closure for United, who had been searching for the right outcome after his struggles.
When Antony first arrived at Old Trafford, expectations were sky high. He came in as one of Erik ten Hag’s big signings, brought over from Ajax with the promise of flair, creativity, and goals. But week after week, the performances didn’t match the price tag. His confidence seemed to dip, fans grew frustrated, and the pressure only mounted further. For a player who thrives on expression and freedom, the weight of those expectations became a heavy burden.

The turning point came when Antony was loaned out to Real Betis. In Spain, something seemed to click again. The pace of La Liga, the system at Betis, and the faith shown by their manager allowed him to find his rhythm. Goals and assists returned, his dribbling began to shine once more, and the Antony that had once dazzled at Ajax started to reappear. That revival didn’t go unnoticed, and Betis made the decision to move from a loan to a permanent deal.
For Manchester United, this transfer is not just about letting a player go. It represents a financial reset, with a sell-on clause also included, ensuring the club could still benefit if Antony flourishes further in Spain. For the player himself, it’s a new chapter and, perhaps, the kind of environment where he can finally play without the weight of expectation dragging him down.
So now, as the deal is confirmed, Antony leaves England behind and officially begins a fresh journey in La Liga. What started as a dream move to one of the biggest clubs in the world ended up being a story of frustration, but in Betis, he has found a new home where his talent can be trusted again. And for United fans, it’s the closing of a chapter that never quite delivered what was hoped.
In the end, Antony’s nightmare at Old Trafford may be over, but his story in Spain is just beginning.
