September 1, 2022, will probably be remembered as one of the worst days in Man United’s history. On that day, the Old Trafford side signed one of their biggest-ever flops, Antony, for €95 million from the Dutch Ajax.Ninety-five games, only 12 goals, and five assists later, the Brazilian is – if you ask United’s fans, finally – near the exit door. Truth be told, only temporarily, as he is allegedly close to moving to the Spanish Real Betis on loan.Sky Sports News understands talks are ongoing between Real Betis & Manchester United over the loan signing of Antony 📞 pic.twitter.com/akf26Q9bIF— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) January 19, 2025 Antony’s abysmal efficiency and poor performances made him a subject of ridicule among the Red Devils’ fans and throughout England and Europe. Erik ten Hag tried to revive him, and Ruben Amorim as well, as both managers gave him a chance even when he, frankly speaking, didn’t deserve it. This season, Antony made 13 appearances in all competitions and scored one goal in the EFL Cup against the third-tier side Barnsley in a crushing 7-0 victory. Reds thank all the deities it didn’t happen – Klopp considered Antony as Salah’s replacementSo, United’s fans were given a reason to celebrate even before their clash against Brighton (17.00) started. And if the popular saying Morning shows the day is actually true, then this will be an exceptionally good day for the Old Trafford crew.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 22SaturdayNewcastle – Bournemouth 1-4 (1-2)/Guimaraes 25 – Kluivert 6, 44, 90+2, Kerkez 90+6/Brentford – Liverpool 0-2 (0-0)/Darwin 90+1, 90+3/Leicester – Fulham 0-2 (0-0)/Smith Rowe 48, Traore 68/West Ham – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-0)/Mateta 48, 89 pen/Arsenal – Aston Villa 2-2 (1-0)/Havertz 35, Martinelli 55 – Tielemans 60, Watkins 68/Sunday17.00: (2.80) Everton (3.50) Tottenham (2.45)17.00: (2.10) Man.Utd.
