Antony has finally revealed the truth about his struggles at Manchester United and his resurgence at Real Betis. Since making the switch to LaLiga during the winter transfer window, the Brazilian winger has been in exceptional form, earning praise from teammate Isco and catching the attention of European giants like Juventus, who are reportedly preparing a summer bid.
Why Antony is Thriving at Real Betis
Unlike his turbulent time at Old Trafford, Antony is flourishing under Manuel Pellegrini’s guidance. Speaking to Kooora in an interview published by ESTADIO Deportivo, he explained how his move to Betis helped him rediscover his confidence.
💬 “The most important thing to regain my confidence was to reconnect with myself. I found myself here, and that’s why I’m very happy at Betis. Every day, I feel more secure.”
Antony credited Pellegrini for his renewed self-belief, highlighting the impact of the manager’s experience and support.
🗣️ “Pellegrini is very important to me. Before signing with Betis, I spoke to him, and he gave me a lot of confidence. His track record and experience give me energy every day to do well.”
The Brazilian also expressed his love for LaLiga, admitting it was always his dream to play in Spain.
⚽ “I always told my brother that I wanted to play here. Now I have the opportunity, and I want to enjoy it and perform at a high level. LaLiga’s standard is very high, and Real Betis must always fight to be at the top.”
Will Antony Stay at Betis or Move Again?
Despite being happy in Spain, Antony remained uncertain about his long-term future, especially with clubs like Juventus monitoring his progress.
🔮 “I’m very happy here, but I don’t know what will happen in the future. It’s still too early to talk about it. Right now, I’m focused on giving my best for the team.”
Manchester United’s Ongoing Player Exodus
Antony isn’t the only player excelling after leaving Manchester United. Marcus Rashford has been in top form on loan at Aston Villa, while Scott McTominay is thriving at Napoli. Their success raises questions about United’s ability to bring out the best in their players.
As United boss Rúben Amorim looks ahead, he must find ways to prevent more stars from leaving and thriving elsewhere. Whether it’s poor confidence, tactical fit, or coaching issues, the trend of players flourishing after exiting Old Trafford is one the club can no longer afford to ignore.
