Since the arrival of Antony from Manchester United as loan player, Real Betis' performance has been very consistent with winning every match both in domestic matches and UEFA Conference League matches. Real Betis success defeating Real Madrid and hold draw Barcelona last match make significant improving Real Betis performance until raise to 6th standings position with 6 points left to secure UEFA Champion League spot standings.
It's massive effect from Antony that helps Real Betis earning many points in recent matches since his transfer from Manchester United in the winter transfer season. Those earned points are meaningful for Real Betis in improvements of their rank in La Liga, and now they are at a sixth position with 48 points that are the same as Villareal at the fifth position. Villareal have played only 29 matches so they can make a 3-point difference against Real Betis. Anyway 3 points are not too big for Real Betis to make a flippening at fifth position of La Liga in eight remaining matches.
Huge influence since the arrival of Antony from Manchester United and make Betis have solid tandem with Isco as crucial midfielder players, but have bit problem for Real Betis to give permanent contract for Antony due high transfer fees and likely he will return back to Manchester United after his loan expiring. If can give permanent contract for Antony I don't think Real Betis end likely Girona for next season because they have many top players from Isco and Batra.
Manchester United did not know how to use Antony properly and maximize his contributions for them. It's likely that Real Betis satisfying with Antony contributions for them, and Manchester United have no interest of bringing Antony back to their club. There is very high chance that Real Betis to have a final deal with Manchester United for officially own Antony after a next summer transfer season.
