After Ruben Amorim took over at Manchester United, it was clear to everyone that new cuts would follow at Old Trafford.
Under his leadership, some players who were not in Erik ten Hag's first team, such as Harry Maguire and Amad Diallo, flourished.
However, what delighted all Manchester United fans the most was that Amorim immediately wrote off United's most expensive failure of all time upon his arrival.
Brazilian Antony is almost certainly out of Amorim's options, and he will have to continue his career in some other club.
The first option for the player who was once paid 100 million euros could be Spain, and Real Betis would bring the Brazilian on loan there
According to Fabrizio Romano, final negotiations are currently underway regarding his arrival.
Interestingly, Betis did not ask for a release clause option in the summer, and will only take over part of the salary that they will probably "halve" with Manchester United.
Antony's stats
Antony really did not justify the money invested in him, to say the least.
This season, the Brazilian played 13 games, and accumulated only 401 minutes on the field, and managed to score only one goal.
He arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 in a transfer worth 100 million euros, and so far he has also had the opportunity to play for the Brazilian national team. The fans had huge expectations from him, considering him a key player of the team. Still..
Antony has played 16 games for Brazil, and fans hope that he will be able to revive his career at Real Betis, and return even better to Old Trafford.
They are currently the happiest that he is leaving, because during his career he was known more for mockery on the Internet than for good moves on the field. However, the 24-year-old has a chance to convince everyone otherwise.
