During his time in Spain, he rejuvenated his career, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 26 matches, helping Betis to the Europa League and Conference League final. Erik ten Hag, who previously signed Antony twice, maintains a strong relationship with him, referring to Antony as a son. While a reunion with Manchester United isn’t expected now, ten Hag remains open to future possibilities regarding Antony's return.
Antony has endured a largely disappointing spell since his 85m transfer and was loaned out to Real Betis for the second half of last season.
In Spain, Antony did enjoy somewhat of a career renaissance, netting nine goals and weighing in with five assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.
Ten Hag maintains a great relationship with Antony, stating: 'He has great quality. I signed him twice. He was like a son to me...'
Although a reunion at this point in time is unlikely, Ten Hag remains open to possibilities, saying, 'We're not interested in him at the moment, but we'll see what happens in the future.'
