I think there is greater motivation now that he has a permanent contract. He had a very difficult time at Man United. He wanted to prove that he is a hard-working player who deserves more playing time. He didn't get that when Amorim arrived. I think Manchester United's decision was fortunate for him and made him realize things. Not every team can maximize a player's strengths and weaknesses. Many of Manchester United's discarded players have been more successful outside the club, so I think Antony has taken a better path.
