Antony 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.

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!”

But the tide turned against the Brazilian in the second half, despite Betis doubling their lead through Isco.

Getafe halved the deficit through Borja Mayoral and pushed for a late equaliser.

Antony lost out in a foot race with Juan Iglesias in the 94th minute.

And he recklessly decided to leap into a wild tackle from behind, scything down the 26-year-old Spaniard.

Antony was shown a straight red – and will now miss the visit of Real Madrid on March 1.

 

 

The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.

The winger 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.

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.
