Antony cried and spoke honestly after leaving Man Utd

(Dan Tri) - Striker Antony could not hold back his tears when joining Real Betis. This player talked about his nightmare time at Man Utd.

Antony left Man Utd to join Real Betis for £21.7 million (about 25 million euros) on the last day of the transfer market. This is a heavy loss for Man Utd when they spent up to £85.5 million to recruit the Brazilian star from Ajax in 2022.

However, Man Utd can also breathe a sigh of relief when they push the "waste" out of Old Trafford, instead of letting this player sit idle and pay a high salary.

Antony is no stranger to Real Betis, having enjoyed a successful loan spell with the club in the second half of last season, helping the Spanish club reach the Europa Conference League final.

Since returning to Man Utd, Antony has been training alone and “locked himself” in a hotel for 40 days. Therefore, this striker could not hide his emotions when moving to play for Real Betis. Antony choked up and shared in tears: “What happened in Manchester, only I know how difficult that time was.

I'm really sorry everyone. I had to train alone. However, I see it as part of life. I knew this moment would come. I just see the difficulties at Man Utd as a story of the past.

Seville is much nicer than Manchester. Finally I got here. Everyone knew how much I wanted to come back to Real Betis. I spent 40 days alone in a hotel in Manchester. It was very difficult.

Now, with more time, we have a lot more to do and a lot more to achieve.”

Antony was one of the worst signings under coach Ten Hag. Also on the last day of the transfer market, another face brought to Old Trafford by the Dutch coach, Rasmus Hojlund, also left.

The Danish striker joined Napoli on loan, with a £38 million buyout clause. This was also a huge loss for the Red Devils, who had spent £64 million to sign Hojlund from Atalanta.
