Antony continues to impress on loan from Man United, with one Real Betis player joking about how they can keep hold of him.
The 25-year-old’s remarkable form shone through for Real Betis on Sunday, as he played an essential role in their 2-1 victory over arch rivals Sevilla.
His dynamic performance prompted teammate Isco‘s lighthearted remark that they should seriously think about making the Old Trafford outcast a permanent fixture in their squad.
Isco lauded the star’s performance after the game and said, “We will now need to do crowdfunding to bring Antony in!”
Betis found themselves trailing in the 17th minute against their fierce rivals Sevilla on Sunday after Ruben Vargas cleverly slotted the visitors ahead with a brilliant finish.
However, with goals from Johnny Cardoso and Cucho Hernandez, the tide turned dramatically before halftime, allowing Real Betis to secure a thrilling 2-1 derby triumph.
Antony played the full 90 minutes, recording two shots on target and creating three chances, all while not getting on the scoresheet himself.
Since he arrived in Spain, his career has been reignited, with him providing four assists in just 12 appearances.
Earlier this month, Antony was asked by the club’s YouTube channel why he’s improved so much, and he explained, “The sun helps me a lot. The city is better.
“I’m very happy here, as I said. Every day I wake up smiling and I’m going to sleep smiling. That’s the most important thing for me.”
After joining on loan from Man United in January, he faced challenges finding his rhythm following his £86m move from Ajax in 2022.
He came to United during Erik ten Hag‘s era but struggled with inconsistency in front of the goal and battled with self-doubt, ultimately falling out of favour.

What the future holds for Antony at the end of the season remains uncertain, especially with two years left on his contract.
Additionally, the Red Devils are reportedly assessing several out-of-favour loan stars this summer, including Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, who has also found his footing again while on loan at Aston Villa.
Club co-owner Jim Ratcliffe recently highlighted Antony among the players United needs to ‘sort out.’
In an interview with BBC Sport, the Monaco-based British billionaire said, “If you look at the players we are buying this summer, that we didn’t buy, we’re buying Antony, we’re buying Casemiro, we’re buying Onana, we’re buying Rasmus Hojlund, we’re buying Jadon Sancho.

Currently, Betis sits proudly in sixth place in La Liga and has been on an incredible winning streak, celebrating victory in their last six league games.
Betis’s next game is against Barcelona on Saturday 5th April.
