MANCHESTER UNITED flop Antony has made an immediate impact during his loan stint with Real Betis.


The winger joined United in 2022 following a whopping £86million deal with Ajax.


However, the Brazil international never lived up to his billing at Old Trafford as he only managed a mere total of 12 goals and five assists in 96 appearances.


Antony's struggles continued this season and that led to him falling out of favour under new manager Ruben Amorim.


That is why the Red Devils offloaded the Brazilian to Real Betis on loan until the end of the season.


And the ex-Ajax star hit the ground running on his first game with Betis in LaLiga against Athletic Bilbao at the Benito Villamarin.


Manager Manuel Pellegrini named him in his starting line-up and the forward showed his worth just 14 minutes into his debut.


Antony fired a shot from the right flank, which was saved by Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon.


But the incoming Isco picked up the rebound and opened the scoring for the hosts from close range.


That meant a lot to Antony as he passionately celebrated in front of the Betis fans.


United supporters were left gobsmacked after witnessing the loanee's immediate impact in Spain.


This comes after other Man Utd rejects found greener pastures away from Old Trafford, such as Scott McTominay, Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho.
