Sancho was packed off on loan to Aston Villa, where he will likely see out the rest of his £300,000-a-week contract before quitting on a free transfer next summer.
As for Antony, he made a dramatic return to Real Betis after spending part of last season there on loan.
The winger was determined to force through a move and even began living at a hotel next to Manchester Airport.
Antony netted five times for Betis last term but was yet to open his account in two games this season.
However, that changed when he scored an 85th-minute equaliser in Wednesday’s Europa League clash with Nottingham Forest.
The forward celebrated passionately with team-mates.
And he was also toasted back in England by Sancho, who watched the game on TV.
The former Chelsea loanee posted a snip on Instagram showing him enjoying Antony’s celebration.

And Sancho revealed their close bond, sure to have been made even tighter by their time together in United’s ‘bomb squad’, by referring to Antony as “hermano” — which is Spanish for “brother.”
Antony revelled in the praise from Sancho as he responded.
