Manchester United Loanee Enjoys Life At Betis

Manchester United winger Antony has said his loan spell at Real Betis has enabled him to find the true version of himself after scoring his latest goal for the Spanish club.

The Brazilian was on the scoresheet for the second game running on Sunday, scoring a stunning 91st-minute winner to help Betis seal a 2-1 away win over Espanyol.

The United loanee cut inside from the edge of the penalty area and curled an outstanding left-footed effort past goalkeeper Joan Garcia, helping Betis to complete an unlikely comeback following Giovani Lo Celso’s leveller six minutes earlier.

The goal was his second in less than 72 hours, following his blistering strike in Betis’ 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday night.

“It’s very important because I’ve said in many interviews that I’ve found myself because I’m happy, things are going well,” Antony told Movistar Plus.

“The coach joked with me because I scored great goals with my right foot, but he asked me when I’d do it with my left foot.

Antony has gone from strength to strength since joining Real Betis on loan from Man United in January.
