ANTONY has left Manchester United after picking up more yellow cards than goals.

The Brazilian winger has joined Real Betis on loan for the remainder of the season.

The deal is a straight loan deal and there is no option for it to be made permanent in the summer.

SunSport understands the Red Devils will still be paying 16 per cent of the former Ajax star’s £200,000-per-week salary.

The Spanish outfit will also pay Antony‘s bonuses at the end of the season.

Antony, 24, joined Man United in 2022 as he was reunited with now-sacked manager Erik ten Hag.

The club forked out a massive £85.5million for his signature with the hope for him to become a star at Old Trafford.

However, he struggled to bring over the form he showed in Holland in England.

He made 96 appearances for the club in all competitions and only contributed 12 goals and five assists.

Antony actually picked up 14 yellow cards during this time, more than the amount of goals he scored.

His struggles saw him drop behind the likes of Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order.

Man United confirmed his temporary departure on social media.

A statement read: “Manchester United forward Antony will spend the rest of the 2024/25 season in Spain, subject to international clearance.

“Everybody at United would like to wish Antony the best of luck for his spell in Seville.”

His transfer fee makes him the second most expensive signing in United’s history.

Only Paul Pogba‘s return to the club in 2016 cost more when the club spent £88m to bring back the midfielder.

Antony will surely go down as one of the worst transfers in the history of the Prem.

His inability to be reliable in front of goal and expense to the club has cost them in more ways than one.

Antony shared a five-word message since arriving at his new club.

He told reporters: “I’m so happy, I’m ready.”

MYSTERY hills have been found on Mars sparking hopes scientists can solve the planet’s biggest mystery from billions of years ago.

The Red Planet is dotted with thousands of mounds containing billions of years worth of history including if Mars ever had water.

Over 15,000 of these mounds point outwards across an area the size of Texas on the planet’s Chryse Planitia, located north of the equator.

Scientists discovered the hills in images taken by NASA and the European Space Agency.

Analysis published in the Nature Geoscience Journal on January 20 reveals how these mounds could solve one of the biggest mysteries about the planet.

It is likely that the thousands of mounds were created by water once being on Mars, the research explains.

The team has found that the mounds are what remains of ancient highlands that were once on the planet billions of years ago, which eventually eroded away to what is there now.

This explanation that there was once water on Mars could further explain why the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet are so different.

Scientists believe this could be attributed to erosion caused by water between 3.8 and 4 billion years ago.

Planetary scientist and postdoctoral researcher at London’s Natural History Museum Dr. Joe McNeil is the lead study author.

He told CNN: “Our findings reveal that water was present both at the surface and in the subsurface of this region over geological timescales, between 4.0 (billion) and 3.8 billion years ago.

“The mounds were originally part of the highlands, composed of hundreds of metres of clay-rich rock that formed in the presence of liquid water.

“Their erosion over hundreds of kilometers shows that the highlands extended much (farther) north than they do today, providing new insights into the ancient geography and hydrology of Mars.”

It is hoped that in the near future, scientists can get closer to these mounds and conduct further examination to get more answers.

The mounds are located near the landing site of the ESA’s ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover which is scheduled to land on the planet in 2028 where it could investigate the hills.

McNeil said: “Each mound is made up of a series of layers, each of which is a record of a past event.

“The oldest are at the bottom and are made up of rock that is around four billion years old.

“For a geologist, looking at these layers is like looking for pages of a book – each one tells a story!”

There is “incredible variety in their structure,” the scientist added noting that some are 1,800 feet tall.

He compared them to the buttes and measas found in the red-sand desert of Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border.

However, these Martian mounds are not only 800 feet taller, they also cover an area 2,000 times larger than the 145 square miles of Monument Valley.

McNeil explained that there is evidence that the planet once had rivers and lakes, but he hopes that further research will help scientists discover if there ever was an ocean on Mars or any life within it.

“They are a prime location for future missions aimed at uncovering whether Mars ever had an ocean and whether life could have existed there,” he told Phys.Org.
