Antony Finds Hot Streak After Manchester Escape…
Antony’s agent, Junior Pedroso, recently threw some delightful shade at Manchester United’s head honcho, Ruben Amorim. Once hailed as Ajax’s Brazil soccer wizard, Antony’s move to Man Utd came with great pomp and a whopping ÂŁ86 million bill. But alas, the winger’s Premier League goals seemed to have packed their bags and went missing since 2023, averaging just one goal since April of that year.
Now, fast forward to his sunny Spanish siesta at Real Betis, Antony’s turned into quite the goal machine, knocking in three beauties and setting up two more in just seven matches! Betis covered 84% of his pay-cheque because Antony surely doesn’t work for fruitcake, darling! And there he was, scoring dazzling goals, leaving Manchester fans wondering if they’d been watching the same TV channel because this wasn’t the plot twist they expected.
In an interview, Pedroso cheekily suggested that maybe, just maybe, the issue wasn’t Antony’s kicking boots, but rather, how Manchester was like a bad rom-com he couldn’t shake off. A straight-up mic drop moment came when Pedroso hinted at United’s possibly flawed creative environment, suggesting the club’s more about drama than winning matches. So, while Betis might consider keeping Antony as their spring signing hero, it seems Man Utd may need to look in the metaphoric mirror this summer.
