Manchester United fell into another defeat in the Premier League this season when they were beaten 4-3 by Brentford in a dramatic clash on Sunday.
The Red Devils have now lost 16 times on top flights, sitting 15th at the table while standing, winning by just 10.
Reuben Amorim’s team has been able to secure Champions League football by winning the Europa League for next season, but United knows they need to improve their national shape.
On the same day Manchester United was beaten by bees, Red Devils lender Antony added another goal to Real Betis’ collection, which was shocked to Espanyol.
The Brazilian forward, who took on loan to Real Betis during the January transfer period, scored three goals in his final four appearances for the Spanish side while his parent club continued to struggle.
Antony’s impressive form on loans at Real Betis
The left-footed flop began the season with zero goals and zero assists in 12 appearances combining Manchester United in the Premier League and Europa League.
Antony, who produced three goals and two assists in the club’s 38 games in the 2023/24 campaign, was allowed to go on loan in January as he has not performed well on the top end of the pitch in the last 18 months.
Three goals and two assists in 50 games are not enough profits for the offensive player who reportedly spent a £86 million fee from Ajax to the club in the summer of 2022.
Perhaps the weight of that transfer fee was too much for Antony to carry between in Old Trafford, so the real Betis performance is a star playing with weight from the shoulder.

As you can see in the table above, Brazil International made an immediate impact in Spain in both Lariga and the Conference League with its exciting performances on the top end of the pitch.
He has been directly involved in 11 goals in 20 games, with seven goals and four assists, and in these two competitions, he has been shown to have pose a major threat in the final third from his right wing position.
Despite Real Betis’ impressive bursts of performance over the last few months, Manchester United has managed to find a winger with better miles than him by landing players with active interest.
Preparing for Premier League stars bids
Manchester United is one of the clubs interested in signing Brentford forward Brian Mbeumo over the upcoming summer transfer period.
The report claims that the Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal sides, are also watching the dive of Cameroon International ahead of next season.

Newcastle United also states he is keen on the bee sense, but his club’s ratings of up to £65 million are said to be difficult for Magpies to make this summer.
However, the outlet has made it clear that Manchester United is preparing an opening offer from Brentford to sign the forward, but it is still unclear how many of those bids will be.
Ineos and Amorim must push to win the race for his signature in competition with Arsenal and Liverpool and others.
Why Manchester United signs Brian Mbeumo
Antony has been looking at Real Betis’ goals and support since January, but the former Ajax star remains an unproven amount in the Premier League.
As mentioned earlier, the £86 million signature did not provide sufficient quality through goals and assists on a top flight with Manchester United before being sent on loan earlier this year.
Mbeumo, on the other hand, shows that he has the ability and consistency to make a big impact in the Premier League.
The Brentford star, who scored 68 goals for the club in all competitions of his career so far, is a sensational form for the bees in his current campaign and could be a great addition to Amorim’s team.
Manchester United players have never scored more than eight goals in the Premier League this season, and Manchester United Winger hasn’t scored more than seven goals in the division.

As you can see from the table above, the Brentford star has come in incredible form with 24 goal involvement resurrected, with top flights that are more than twice as many goals managed by the Red Devil Star.
Once described as “incredible” by reporter Dom Smith, Mbeumo scored more goals this season than Antony managed to combine his last four league campaigns (17) for Real Betis, Manchester United and Ajax.
This suggests that the £65 million rated star is more miles than miles for United than Antony was.
Therefore, INEOs need to make sure they are reportedly reportedly preparing to make. Because he has quality, which is an exceptional addition to Amorim’s team heading for the 2025/26 campaign and more.
