  1. Man United have spent nearly 2 Billion on players since Fergie left and has managed to ruin almost every single player they have bought. Anthony is not the exception he is the rule . Not one player has gone to Man United in the last 12 years and become world-class. Only delusional Man United fans think Bruno is world-class so please shut up Man United fans . Here are some other players that Man United have nearly ruined Pogba, Lakaku, Di Maria, Sancho, Sanchez, Martial, Depay, Van De Beek, Mikitaryan, Maguire Cassmerio, Mount, Schneiderlin, the list is endless . Man United are the club that talent goes to die .

  2. In case anyone is wondering, "Betis" literally means calf for Indonesian and Malay people. It's quite weird to see why this club was named Real Betis, given the fact those who were living in two countries got confused about pronouncing this club name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  3. Sir alex ferguson made a deal with the devil, glory for days for the price of endless mediocrity after his retirement

    Now the club is paying the price

    Fitting for the red devils to be honest

  4. I think a lot has to do with the league a player plays in. The prem is all about tempo and speed, in La liga it’s more about controlling the ball and playing the game beautifully, Italy is about keeping clean sheets unless your Milan and Germany is about tactics and structure. This is a blanket statement but I believe it’s true some players will thrive in different leagues and systems

  5. 9:12 Amorim is trying to give a smart answer where it's not even necessary. It has nothing to do with physicality and everything to do with confidence. This guy missed an empty net vs Southampton what did that have to do with physicality? Antony had a lot going on at United (domestic violence cases included) and you tell that his confidence was just shot to bits and he wasn't at all happy. So going to a new league, in a country where the weather isn't frequently shit and playing for a club where you don't have a huge price tag hanging over your head including the bad PR from the earlier mentioned D.V cases, means that Antony can actually just focus on playing football again and finding joy in being out on the pitch. P.S you yourself as a united fans have admitted that Antony's work rate and physical output was always if the highest level, so idk if it was just a case of Amorim looking for the easiest out but the physicality thing doesn't fly especially when La Liga boasts teams like Barca, Real, Atleti, Athletic Club, Sociedad etc all of whom on their day can go toe to toe with any of the other physical teams scattered around the EPL or Europe.

  6. La liga is a bit of a banter leafue the quality of the refs and someof the teams is bad and the reason the spanish teams do so well in European comps is because there fa makes it easier for them fixture wise giving them space postponing games for big ucl games

  7. I am from Holland and always have been a fan of the young Brazilian players coming to our league to start their European career: In the past Romario, Ronaldo, Alex and Gomes at PSV, Afonso Alves at Heerenveen, Maxwell, Nerez and Anthony at Ajax, Botteghin at Feyenoord, where Paixão is also playing very well at the moment. Leaving their sunny Latin American culture, often before they are even 20, and having to adapt to our cold and very Western European one, it is pretty incredible what they accomplish.

    It was also pretty heart breaking to see how Anthony was treated in England by the MU organisation, their supporters and the English media. Definitely one of the ugliest sides of human behavior. But it is just as great to see how happy Anthony looks now at Betis, and how he is playing like at his best days at Ajax, now that he is in a healthy environment again.
    I just wish he wasn’t on a loan at Betis, as his current performance will now unfortunately also benefit MU if they are selling him this summer, and they do not deserve that at all.

  8. Physicality amorim clearly hasn't seen foden nor benardo Silva

    Anyway tinashe i was thinking of grieezmann how the hell did a french man end up play for socosidal ,atelti ,barca then that complicated transfer price and him leaving the team thats set to win la liga

    Mind doing a video on the lad?

  9. 1:58 Alavés isn't newly promoted, even tho they're fighting to avoid relegation right now.

    Anyways, great video as always! Love to see you paying attention to La Liga!

  10. Weirdly he could have played that Rwb role for united, I just think they never wanted to give such a higher earner a fair shake. Plus with the DV scandal etc. It was best for him he left.

  11. I 100% believe the confidence theory, because as a hard-working, not super fast winger myself, my style of play varies wildly depending on the quality of the opposition. If they're too good for my fancy skills to work I'll work my ass off defensively and keep it as simple as possible offensively, but if I sense weakness I'll start channeling my inner Ronaldinho! 😄

  12. I know I'm literally the only person that thinks this, but prime Isco was the best player ever imo. Not over the course of years, I'm talking just one day as prime Isco is the best ever. Seeing him flourish at Betis makes me so happy, and honestly, we at Madrid still love him and are glad to see him do well. Never forget el MagGOAT!

  13. For once I disagree, as always a great watch but his great recent form and team impact don’t reflect his inconsistency , I’m neither a Man Utd fan or detractor , the man’s clearly on his day a talented player but I think his overall lacklustre performances still over shadow recent success , either way , he seems to be enjoying his football and time in betis

  14. Thank you for calling Ratcliffe by his surname. Far too many people calling him by his nickname. He is not your friend. Man United can languish in mid table mediocrity, as long as he and the Glazers make even more money. Betis look great, by the way! Long may it last!

  15. i hope anthony cook against barcelona, as a madrid fans, im already scared of that player, real madrid already slaughtered by the goats of the goat

  16. Time and time again I will say it, it is not the player, it's Manchester United. There is something so fundamentally wrong with how the players are managed that it is not even an excuse anymore to pass the blame from player to player. The entire upper management, Board of Directors, etc need to be replaced.

  17. you r so nice bro. I remember when people were so toxic and mean to Antony and i feel so bad for him 😢😢I so happy that Antony is now finally able to be hapy and they can not hate him no more.

  18. As a United fan this is the best that could happen. I know what I saw, he was trash, he didn't had a right leg, he was selfish, the only thing I could say good about him was that he would track down on defense, other than that its the most average player I've seen go over 50mill.

    With that in mind if he is doing great in Betis (A small, lower table side) I hope they pay a hefty fee for him under the idea that he is actually worth it. We would be making a video like this in 2 years asking ig it was all real

  19. "I will be criticized, but Man United is like being in 3000 ft onto the ocean…"
    Thats what he said to a Brazilian TV interview.
    He couldnt handle that pressure.

  20. It's not Antony's fault, just like it isn't Ten Hag's fault. Amorim is just making excuses because he has to.
    Manchester Utd is just so much shite it wouldn't even win the title in the Luxembourg football league.
