Antony complete a six-month loan move to Real Betis คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย in the January transfer window having faile to live up to his £82million price tag across an immensely underwhelming start to his Old Trafford career.

The 24-year-old winger manage just one goal in all competitions for United in the first half of the campaign but has hit the ground running in Spain, netting twice in his first three games for Betis.

‘Sometimes it’s like that, it can happen in any club,’ Amorim replied when aske why both Antony and McTominay had thrived to such a degree since departing the Theatre of Dreams.

This is a club with a lot of pressure. At this kind of club you have to have a base of a team to put the younger players, talented players that came from abroad, that come to a team that has one strong base that can help them to cope with that pressure.

‘We don’t have that in this moment so it’s really hard on them and you feel it on [Patrick] Dorgu, he was a little bit nervous in the first moment.

‘But if you are playing better as a team, you have a strong core that can cope with this, are winning games and are really strong in the games like it’s suppose to be at this kind of club, it will be more easy for these kind of players to be free to play their football.
