Antony Matheus dos Santos has really stepped up his game since moving to Real Betis on loan from Manchester United. His goal scoring in February has actually been better than his parent club Manchester United across all competitions which is pretty crazy. Antony’s been on fire scoring in three games straight including this amazing volley against Real Sociedad that got everyone talking. He’s really made a name for himself in La Liga and Real Betis is really interested in keeping him around permanently. It’s been quite the turnaround for the Brazilian winger in Spain.
- Antony has scored more goals in February than Manchester United in all competitions.
- Real Betis is interested in making Antony’s move permanent.
- His performances have got people talking about what he can do for the 2025/26 season.
Antony’s Career Transformation
The way Antony went from being this huge £85 million signing at Manchester United to being loaned out to Real Betis really shows how things can change. He couldn’t really get going at Old Trafford after signing in 2022 which led to him moving to Spain in January 2025. Real Betis can see how well he fits with their team and word is they’re really keen to sign him permanently. This whole situation just shows the problems Manchester United has been having with players lately.
Antony has scored more goals (3) than Man United (2) in all competitions so far this month since joining Real Betis on loan.
He also has a longer scoring streak (3 games) than any of his Man United teammates have had this season.
