Antony's £100 million move to Manchester United from Ajax has turned into one of the Premier League's biggest transfer flops. In a scathing assessment, The Guardian has labeled the Brazilian winger as the worst signing in the competition's history.

Since arriving at Old Trafford with such fanfare, Antony has struggled to live up to the hype. His time at the club has been marred by a series of underwhelming performances, disciplinary issues, and persistent injury problems. The statistics paint a bleak picture: more yellow cards than goals and more time spent on the sidelines than on the pitch.

A steep decline

Antony's form has nosedived since his promising start at Ajax. His once-electrifying pace and trickery have been replaced by inconsistency and a lack of end product. The Brazilian international has failed to establish himself as a regular starter for Manchester United and has been linked with a move away from the club on numerous occasions.

Loan move to Real Betis on the cards

A loan move to Real Betis is now on the cards, with a deal expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. This represents a significant downturn for a player who was once considered one of the most promising young talents in world football.

A forgettable spell at Old Trafford

Antony's time at Manchester United has been a disappointment for both the player and the club. The Brazilian's failure to live up to expectations is a stark reminder of the risks associated with big-money transfers in the modern game.
