Overview

• Antony told Spanish media he spent more than 40 days in a hotel and trained away from the first team, saying the experience left him feeling disrespected.
• He was among players placed in Manchester United’s so‑called bomb squad, with reports saying the group trained at Carrington only after the main squad had left.
• A permanent transfer to Real Betis was finalised on deadline day for a fee widely reported at around €25m (£21.65m), with some outlets noting differing breakdowns and the Manchester Evening News reporting a 50% net sell‑on clause.
• Betis pushed for the deal after his productive loan last season, when he started regularly, contributed goals and assists, and helped reach the Europa Conference League final.
• Since rejoining Betis he has begun contributing again and, while expressing gratitude for two trophies at United, he says regular minutes are aimed at earning Brazil selection for the 2026 World Cup.
