<p>After seeing the Brazilian winger flop at Old Trafford on the back of his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erik-ten-hag-rated-antony-better-signing-man-utd-raphinha-shocking-details-85m-transfer/blt02a86c862f1ecb81" target="_blank">£86 million ($107m) transfer from Ajax</a>, the decision was taken to part with the South American’s services during the winter window of 2025. Antony was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-flops-excelled-after-escaping-old-trafford-ranked/bltc80b68b2ec3018f3" target="_blank">allowed to link up with La Liga outfit Real Betis</a> on a temporary deal.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antony-man-utd-flop-scores-against-celta-brazilian-continues-flying-start-matches-embarrassing-man-utd-record/bltedc11dda987ed3ff" target="_blank">netted just once through 14 appearances for United this season</a> – with that solitary strike coming from the penalty spot in a Carabao Cup clash with Burnley – Antony has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-antony-goal-machine-man-utd-loanee-scores-stunning-first-time-volley-real-betis-real-sociedad-sensational-start-spain-continues/bltbb157a6c26e45bc5" target="_blank">registered three goals through his opening four outings for Betis</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A timely reminder has been delivered to those at Old Trafford of his worth, with the 24-year-old having plenty to offer when given the freedom to express himself and play with confidence. Questions are already been asked of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antony-man-utd-future-open-agent-provides-update-winger-flying-start-loan-real-betis/bltd8fd7a1bb0407a2f" target="_blank">whether he could have a future in Manchester after all</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>According to the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/antony-sends-yet-another-transfer-31017999 " target="_blank"><em>Manchester Evening News</em></a>, there is no purchase option for Betis to trigger this summer. It is also claimed that it is “technically possible for United to recall Antony from the loan deal should they wish to do so”.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Premier League rules dictate that any loans must run for at least 28 days, meaning that United could explore the option of absorbing Antony back into their plans – if a recall option does exist – from February 22. Ruben Amorim is crying out for an attacking spark after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-alejandro-garnacho-rasmus-hojlund/blt6b27062f3d562e1f" target="_blank">seeing the Red Devils slip to 15th in the Premier League table</a>.</p>
