Former Manchester United star Antony says he was treated with “a lack of respect” and “rudeness” after being frozen out of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
The 25-year-old Brazil international was part of the so-called ‘bomb squad’ at United of players deemed surplus to requirements and available for sale in the summer.
He ultimately joined Spanish side Real Betis, who he had initially played for on loan in the second half of last season.
Antony told ESPN Brasil he “takes responsibility” for his move to United not working out as hoped, but has expressed discontent at how certain individuals treated him at Old Trafford.
“I’m not the kind of guy who gets involved in controversies, who names people, in fact, I won’t mention anyone’s name here,” he said.
“But I think there was a bit of a lack of respect there, even a bit of rudeness too, with no one giving you a ‘good morning’, a ‘good afternoon’.
“Not even that. But, anyway, that’s in the past, I won’t give much importance to these things. Now I’m here, at Betis, I’m living here, that’s the most important thing for me.”
