He has the same mentality as Cristiano, always striving for more and being very focused on the game.”Antony has made 27 appearances alongside Bartra for Betis, whilst the Spaniard is a former teammate of Neymar’s at Barcelona.GettyAntony completed a permanent switch to Betis after three years at United[/caption]Overall, the 25-year-old has now scored 15 goals and provided seven assists in 37 matches for Betis.Those include six goals in 11 appearances since making his move permanent in September.It is a significant improvement on his United career, having managed just 12 goals and five assists in 96 matches during his three years in England.Antony claimed he had been ‘disrespected’ after leaving the Red Devils.His final weeks at the club saw him placed in the bomb squad, which also featured Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia.Following his departure, he told Spanish outlet El Desmarque: “They were very tough months in England, more than 40 days in a hotel, training separately… I feel like they disrespected me, but that’s not the point.Amorim may regret letting Antony leave the clubGetty“I don’t want to create controversy; that’s life. I’m very grateful for the club; there were bad times, but also good times with two titles.“My family travelled to Seville four or five days before the deal was finalised; I had the house rented.”Antony was signed by Erik ten Hag from Ajax for an initial £81million back in 2022.Along with penning a five-year deal, he also became the club’s second most expensive signing ever behind Paul Pogba.
