‘This is getting out of hand’ – Man Utd fans in meltdown as flop Antony makes outrageous assist for Real Betis
ANTONY has continued his stunning form since joining Real Betis – leaving Manchester United fans furious.
The Brazilian, 24, notched up another assist as Betis took on Getafe in LaLiga on Sunday.
https://twitter.com/PremSportsTV/status/1893721856097558546Antony joined the Spanish side last month on loan from the Red Devils.
The £85million flop infamously left Old Trafford after clocking up more yellow cards than goals over the past three seasons.
But he looks like a player reborn under Manuel Pelligrini at Betis.
Antony has netted three times since heading to Spain on loan, bagging three Player of the Match awards in the process.
And he turned provider for pal Isco during Sunday’s contest at Getafe’s Coliseum.
Antony picked up the ball well inside his own half, beating two men for pace as he burst forward.
The Brazilian cut back onto his left foot, before finding Isco in the box with a perfect pass.
Former Real Madrid star Isco did the rest, giving Antony his second assist since leaving Old Trafford.

One Man Utd fan raged: “This is getting out of hand, Antony is actually cooking in La Liga.”
Another said: “Antony deserves an apology. My man is on fire. POTM for sure atm.”
While a third claimed: “Something must be in the waters in Old Trafford.”
And a fourth joked: “Love the look of this Antony, we should sign him!”
Antony now has more goals and assists for Betis in six games than he managed in his last 41 for United.
The 24-year-old appears to have immediately settled in Spain.
And he puts his success down to being happy, suggesting he feels more calm and at ease in Betis.
Man Utd ratings vs Everton
MANCHESTER UNITED fought back from two goals down to draw against Everton at Goodison Park
The Red Devils were slammed as “embarrassing” by Rio Ferdinand after failing 2-0 down in the first half.
But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.
Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.
SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…
Andre Onana – 7
United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.
Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4
Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisis
Harry Maguire – 4
Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.
Diogo Dalot – 5
At least shows willing. Which is more than could be said for some of his team mates at Goodison.
Manuel Ugarte – 7
Spent most of the game stranded in United’s midfield morass but salvation came with a brilliant strike.
Casemiro 62′ – 2
The Brazilian is beginning to look like the world’s oldest 32-year-old —he’s become a genuine irrelevance.
Patrick Dorgu – 6
Made a determined start down the left flank but that enthusiasm was slowly but surely sucked out of him.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
His free kick was genuine class and once he was dropped deeper started controlling the game.
Joshua Zirkzee – 4
At £36.5M you would expect an element of ball control but the Dutchman used as a joint No 10 just looks lost.
Rasmus Hojlund 69′ – 3
Not so much a desperate Dane, more a despairing one although it would help if he had some support.
Subs:
Alejandro Garnacho 62′ – 7
Injected some desperately needed pace and passion.
Leny Yoro 69′ – 6
Should have been on much earlier.
Chido Obi-Martin 69′ – 5
The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.
Antony told AS: “I’ve had a great time in Manchester too, I won two titles and I’m very grateful.
“But when I say that I’ve found myself here, I’m happy, the people are like us in Brazil. The sun helps a lot.
“I’m very happy here. I wake up every day with a smile and that’s very important.
“I have a lot of friends who played here and they left me very calm so that I could sign here.
“I was sure in my heart that coming here was the best decision for me. I hope to continue like this.”
