After being deemed surplus to requirements, Antony was forced to train away from the first-team squad and was left off the club's preseason tour.

He eventually rejoined Real Betis in the summer, citing a successful loan spell with the Spanish side during the second half of last season.

In an interview, Antony mentioned that he didn't want to name specific individuals who he felt were responsible for the lack of respect, saying "I'm not the kind of guy who gets involved in controversies".

Antony stated that he felt a lack of basic courtesy, such as being greeted with a simple greeting, was a contributing factor to his negative experience at the club.

Antony acknowledged that his performance at Manchester United was disappointing, scoring just 12 goals in 96 matches for the club.

He attributed his decline in form to off-field issues, stating that he accepts responsibility for not meeting his own expectations.

Antony expressed a positive outlook, viewing his time at Manchester United as an opportunity to learn and grow.
