There is something about Manchester United and players they can’t get to work in the United shirt, or underestimate. When it comes to a rental or permanent exit, we see these players sparkle again and again in the match arena. When even Antony plays big, a week or so after leaving Old Trafford, then it starts to get a bit “mysterious”.
Chelsea have an option to buy Jadon Sancho at around £25 million. An award that makes the Chelsea management rub their hands after seeing the deliveries to the 24-year-old in the blue shirt. Marseille signed Mason Greenwood for around £27 million. A few months later, the 22-year-old is one of Ligue 1’s best.

Napoli paid around £25 million for the “redundant” McTominay. A few months later, the Scot is one of the best midfielders in Serie A.
On Sunday, it was time for one of Manchester United’s biggest and most expensive flops of all time, Antony, to make his debut in a Real Betis shirt. The La Liga club took the chance to cover 84 percent of the Brazilian’s salary on loan, already in his debut the 24-year-old showed that he can actually play at a high level, just not in the United shirt.
Real Betis welcomed Athletic Club and took strong points against La Liga’s currently 4th best club. Antony didn’t score, but he played great and was named Player of the Match for his 72 minutes on the pitch.
This comes in his debut, with a measly 402 playing minutes in his legs this season. Actually completely raw of the United flop.
