In a move that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Real Betis has officially signed former Manchester United star Antony, marking a sensational reunion with Erik ten Hag's former player.

The 25-year-old Brazilian international has left Old Trafford, with Betis confirming the completion of the transfer after a productive loan spell that showcased his undeniable talent. The La Liga club has reportedly secured Antony for an initial fee of approximately £19.06 million (€22 million), with additional performance-related add-ons totaling around £2.59 million (€3 million).

Antony's journey back to the Villamarin Stadium culminated on deadline day, with sources indicating that Manchester United's management did not need to negotiate to settle the transfer.

In a strategic move, United included a 50 percent sell-on clause in the deal, allowing the club to benefit from any future transfer involving the dynamic winger.

Real Betis confirmed that Antony has signed a contract that binds him to the club until 2030. Moreover, he’s not alone in Spain; he will be reunited with Sofyan Amrabat, another familiar face from his time at United.

Amrabat, who played under Ten Hag during his season at Manchester United and also boasts a history with the coach from his early career at Utrecht, joined Betis on loan from Fenerbahce just as Antony made his move. This double signing has ignited excitement among fans and pundits alike.

While at United, Amrabat made 30 appearances and even lifted the FA Cup under Ten Hag's guidance. His relationship with Ten Hag remains strong, with Amrabat expressing great respect for his former manager.

"I have a special relationship with Ten Hag since I was a 20-year-old at Utrecht," he revealed in a past interview. "He wanted to keep me this summer, and while I wish him well, I hope he faces defeat against us this season.”

With this pair of signings, Real Betis is clearly aiming to enhance its competitive edge in La Liga, setting the stage for an exhilarating season ahead.
