2 G + A in 2 matches!
GBP40m fee sounds realistic!

Jonathan Woodgate too (injury crisis)
Thomas Gravesen wasnt a superstar but he did have some notoriety in the PL
Hazard
Michael Owen.
It wasn't too bad for first season but wouldn't expect someone to say he enjoyed Antony's first season. Your opinion of course and I respect it just bit surprised.
Looks like he is lighting up La liga. 2 G+A in 2 games and has matched his output in the PL last season.
Scored again. Cue the comments about how United were holding him back. Truth is, Betis is his level where the shackles of expectation are off.
Another £5 million added to the transfer fee during the summer
Nice goal to be fair. Glad to see he's doing well.
Same. Jokes aside I much rather see someone do well who wasn't a diva cnt while they re here or on their way out, than someone who was.
What baffles me is how he’s playing exactly the same but suddenly he can steer a shot on target now.
This is what not being weighed down by a ridiculous transfer fee could look like or not slagged off by esteemed former players or media critics/influencers at every opportunity because of what a club is prepared to pay for you. No matter how well he played for us Paul Merson to take one example would always use him as the face of our failed recruitment policy of recent years.
Yes and one of his last matches for United he couldn't even score from this chance
My thinking as well. Hopefully he continues this way and we could actually get a decent fee for him which would be great as until recently I thought it'd be few loans before his contract expires in 2027.
Yeah same for me. Antony was professional and wasn't his fault club paid as much as Ajax demanded.
Just a player who couldn’t handle the transfer fee and pressure of playing for Utd and the impact of social media who made him into a laughing stock.
There is zero pressure where he is now and he’s enjoying it clearly
Probably just happier to be honest.
keep going, son. £40M loading
I always felt there is a decent player in him but the moment we decided to spend 80m on him, we made him a flop. Had he been bought for 40m , no would have said much.
Happy for him and United! Long may his good form continue.
Couldn't handle the pressure here at all. There's a 30m player here and the bettee he does during his loan, the more money we'll get for him next summer. Let's hope he ends up at 10+ goals.
Let's not get too excited . He started in a similar way when he joined us also scoring on his debut and then teams figured out if you force him wide and not let him cut in then he wouldn't be effective.
yes hopefully he keeps this up till season's end where we can get a good fee out of him before he's found out again
Confidence plays a big part, he was a good player in his first year here. He was good tracking back and going forward.
But I think he just can’t deal with defenders who mark him aggressively, it doesn’t shit his game and that’s what will help him in Spain.

so, do we have a recall clause?
No why would we?
Because were now running on empty, Amad is out for the season and were short?
He’s shit he’s better off where he is . I prefer seeing academy been promoted personally.
Another goal. Doing well at Betis.
Thought he would thrive in the right environment. There is so much pressure at United so Betis is probably a better experience for him at the moment. The better he does the more chance we have of getting some money for him.
Ripping it up in Spain
I would recall if we have the option, we are desperately light on bodies
Cannot recall players outside of the transfer window so it is a non starter. We need to not be foolish here, he was rubbish for us and would be if he came back. The loan was to get him playing and try to rescue some value ahead of a permanent sale in the summer and it is working out perfectly for that.
Assist now as well. Keep it coming Antony.
One of the worst signings in EPL history turns into a completely different player three matches into a loan spell.
We are a club that simply ruins players.

Didn't he score a goal in all of his first three matches for us?
Hopefully can fetch 40m in the summer.
At this rate I won’t be surprised if we sell Garnacho in the summer and he turns into prime Yamal then.
Doing very well. Nice goal again
What a brilliant finish. Glad he's doing well, looks like he's found his level, guaranteed money in the summer then, everyone's happy.
