Antony's joy

Antony celebrated wildly as he helped Real Betis make it six league wins in a row.

The Brazilian joined the Spanish side on loan during the winter transfer window.

His performances have earned him widespread praise.

But after playing the full match in a 2-1 win over Sevilla to ensure his side won the Seville derby, it was what he did after the game which really caught the eye.

Harrop names best team-mate

Former Manchester United star Josh Harrop has named Adnan Januzaj as the best player he's played with.

The academy graduate played alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford.

But Januzaj stands out in his memory.

He recently told Sky Sports: "A lot of people ask me this, and I’ve played with, obviously, a lot of big names, but one who I always say to this day was Adnan Januzaj.

"Maybe because I’ve played with him more through the reserves, and then I’ve seen him when he broke into the first team, but the things that guy could do with the ball was just different.

"He was just a different talent, and I think his whole aura at that age, he was like 18, 19.

"He walked into that first team like he was the man, and he had the ability to back it up as well.

"I remember training, going up to the first team, I was a bit nervous, and I’m seeing him just, just ripping it. Adnan Januzaj was, I say, is the best player I’ve played with."

No going Barc

Wayne Rooney has revealed that he nearly left Man Utd for Spain in 2010.

The former Red Devils skipper, 39, told the BBC: "When I told Manchester United in 2010 that I did not want to sign a new deal and put in a transfer request, three clubs came in for me.

"Manchester City are often talked about as being one of them, but I don't think that was ever an option for me - the teams who made an approach were Chelsea, Real and Barcelona.

"In my head, I was ready to go and play in Spain and some talks did take place.

"A deal with Real looked more likely for a couple of days but it was Barcelona whom I thought about the most, and how I might fit into their side alongside Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets.

"In the end I decided to stay at United, but Barca had an incredible team then and any player would have loved to have played in it."

Jaap Stam: Style holding Hojlund back

Man Utd legend Jaap Stam reckons Rasmus Hojlund doesn’t have the chance to get into games

Speaking toMakthavare.se, Stam said: “I think that it’s the style of play that is holding Rasmus back.

“We don’t know how the manager is trying to use him in matches and I think he doesn’t get a lot of chances to touch the ball and get into games.

“It becomes a very difficult situation for a striker because you don’t see crosses coming into the box and the emphasis should be on creating chances for him.

“If you don’t get chances you can’t prove how good a striker you are.”
