Leaving Old Trafford has — so far — done wonders for Antony.
The Brazilian forward has scored three goals and made two assists in six games across all competitions since he joined Real Betis on loan from Manchester United last month.
That contrasts with his disappointing time with United, when he failed to live up to a $95-transfer from Ajax in 2022 and scored only 12 goals in 96 games.
Next up he faces his biggest challenge so far: Real Madrid is coming to town on Saturday locked in a three-way fight for the league lead.
Antony was cleared to play against Madrid after the Spanish soccer federation’s disciplinary committee lifted a red card that he was shown in his last game.
Midfielder Dani Ceballos is out for several weeks with a leg injury just when the regular substitute was getting a starting role.
