ANTONY aimed a dig at Manchester United as he spoke of his joy playing for Real Betis.
The winger joined the LaLiga side on loan last month and has hit the ground running.
Antony has scored three goals in his first four games, producing one assist, showing why United were so desperate to sign him for £85million in 2022.
He has looked revitalised and he puts it down to being happy, suggesting he feels more calm and at ease at 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.
“I have a lot of friends who played here and they left me very calm so that I could sign here. I was sure in my heart that coming here was the best decision for me. I hope to continue like this.”
Antony has adjusted quickly to his new team and he puts it down to the skill of his team-mates.
He highlighted former Real Madrid star Isco as a big influence, as well as ex-Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
“Isco is a great player, he has a lot of experience, he is a star and we all know it. He tells me that he is very happy for me.
“Having him by my side is easier, you get along very well with him. With Lo Celso too. And with other team-mates, too.”
