  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Brazil international winger was bombed out of Old Trafford during the winter transfer window. He was considered to have no part to play in Ruben Amorim’s plans, having also struggled to find a spark under the Portuguese's Red Devils predecessor Erik ten Hag.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    United did not see the best from Antony following his £85 million ($107m) transfer from Ajax. A change of scenery has, however, done him good. The 24-year-old has already recorded three goals for Betis, with two of those coming in La Liga.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    He also has a couple of assists to his name in the Spanish top-flight. The most recent of those saw him race half the length of the pitch, shrugging off a few challenges in the process, before feeding the ball into the feet of Isco for the ex-Real Madrid star to prod home.

  • ANTONY SEES RED

    However, Antony did not see out the match as he was sent off late on for a lunge on Juan Iglesias.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Antony has earned plenty of praise on the back of his immediate impact at Betis but his red card will be a real setback and he is now facing a ban.
