Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini claims that Antony has “matured significantly” since bringing his Manchester United nightmare to a close and securing a permanent transfer to Andalusia. The Brazil international forward became a big-money flop at Old Trafford, but has rediscovered a lost spark in Spanish football and bagged a brilliant brace against Villarreal in his latest outing.

Antony sealed a permanent switch to Real Betis after a mixed spell at Manchester United, with Manuel Pellegrini confident the winger will rediscover his best form. The Brazilian thrived on loan last season and, despite a slow start to this campaign, his manager insists he will be “happy in every way” as Betis look to revive their season.

Antony curled in his most outrageous Real Betis goal yet to seal a last-gasp win at Espanyol and keep their Champions League hunt on track.
