Antony gives two reasons behind stunning form turnaround at Real Betis as it could be over for him at Man Utd

Antony has surpassed all expectations and not just flourished at Real Betis, but has become their outright talisman in less than three months at the club

From getting praised by teammates to manager Manuel Pellegrini stressing Antony’s importance, it has been quite a stunning turnaround for the Brazilian.

Ruben Amorim has put that down to physicality, a remark that wasn’t taken kindly by Antony’s agent. Now, the player himself has given two reasons behind his turnaround.

It could signal the end for him at Old Trafford.

Antony on reasons behind Real Betis form
Firstly, it is worth saying that Man Utd benefit immensely from Antony’s good form, so the Brazilian playing well on loan should be celebrated by the club

Either they get good money for the player in the summer since he doesn’t look like he’ll be in Ruben Amorim’s plans, or he comes back and proves people wrong again, adding to United’s options.

However, if the reasons behind his turnaround are to be believed, (they should be since they come from the horse’s mouth itself!), the latter looks extremely unlikely.

In a TV interview in Spain, Antony has said that his form has improved because he likes the city (Seville) better, with the sun being a major factor.

He said: “The sun here helps a lot, and the city (Seville) is better here. I’m very happy here”.

Needless to say, the two reasons are completely subjective (some would say factual!), and neither is a reason that the club has any control over.

Therefore, it could be over for him in Manchester, a place clearly not to his liking as much as Seville
