Three goals in four games - Manchester United loan star nominated for award alongside Kylian Mbappe
Man Utd allowed the forward to leave the club on loan in the January transfer window.
Manchester United forward Antony has been nominated for an award less than one month after he joined Real Betis on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 24-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements by head coach Ruben Amorim and was allowed to join the La Liga side on a temporary deal. It is understood Betis will cover a minimum of 84% of Antony's salary during his time at the club, though they do not have the option to make his move permanent.
Antony became the second most expensive player in the club's history when he joined from Ajax for a fee of £82 million, but failed to live up to expectations with just 12 goals in 96 appearances. United will entertain offers for the Brazilian this summer and hope his loan spell with Betis will raise interest in his signature as they look to recoup as much money as possible.
Antony nominated for Player of the Month award
It has been a bright start to life at his new club for Antony, who has already been nominated for the La Liga Player of the Month award in February. He impressed on his debut against Athletic Club at the start of the month and followed it up with three goals and one assist in the subsequent three matches.
Those performances have led Antony to be nominated for the award alongside Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe, Barcelona ace Pedri, Athletic Club midfielder Oihan Sancet and Osasuna striker Ante Budimir.
Speaking earlier this week, Antony opened up on his start to life with Betis and explained how the change of scenery has helped to rejuvenate his career.
"I've had a great time in Manchester too, I won two titles and I'm very grateful," he said. "But when I say that I've found myself here, I'm happy, the people are like us in Brazil. The sun helps a lot. I'm very happy here. I wake up every day with a smile and that's very important. I have a lot of friends who played here and they left me very calm so that I could sign here. I was sure in my heart that coming here was the best decision for me. I hope to continue like this."
