ANTONY scored yet again for loan club Real Betis as he equalled last season’s goal tally for Manchester United in just four games.
The Brazilian winger joined his new Spanish club in January on a deal running until the summer.
Antony had been frozen out at United by Ruben Amorim after struggling to fit into his 3-4-3 system.
But the £84million flop has hit the ground running in LaLiga.
Antony first bagged an assist just 14 minutes into his Betis debut.
His performance earned a coveted Man of the Match award.

Antony was even hailed by LaLiga’s official X account, which posted: “Antony. What a player.”
Indeed, the forward now has as many goals in just four games for Betis as he managed throughout the whole of the 2023/24 campaign for United.
And fans reckon the Red Devils could do with having Antony back right now.
That’s after they were beaten 1-0 by fellow strugglers Spurs, with Amorim having to name EIGHT kids on the bench due to injuries.
One fan said: “Looks like United binned the wrong players.”
Another declared: “You have to ask what is wrong at United.”
One noted: “United are a cursed club.”
Another added: “Best thing he did was get away from United.”
Antony was also presented with the Player of the Match award for the third time in four games.
