Brazilian accused of assault and domestic abuse by ex-girlfriendCalls for decision on player to be taken out of club’s hands
Manchester United are staying silent despite growing pressure to take action against Antony, the Brazilian winger who has been accused of assault and domestic abuse by his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin, with fan groups and domestic abuse charities calling for the decision to be taken out of the club’s hands.
Cavallin outlined the allegations via the Brazilian news website UOL on Monday, and they have been reported to police in São Paulo and Greater Manchester. The Brazilian football confederation confirmed it had dropped Antony, 23, from the squad for the upcoming internationals, but United have made no comment on the allegations – which first came to light in June – just two weeks after they confirmed Mason Greenwood would leave the club.
