Antony addresses Man United future as forward responds to latest assault charges

Manchester United forward Antony has addressed his Manchester United future amid new assault charges.

Antony, 23, has been accused of domestic assault by his ex-girlfriend, however, since then two other women have come out against the Brazilian.

His ex-girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, alleges that he assaulted her on four different occasions.

Following those allegations from Cavallin, United responded: “Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the Police are conducting enquiries.

“Pending further information, the club will be making no further comments. As a club, we are taking this matter seriously, with consideration of the impact of these allegations and subsequent reporting will have on survivors of abuse.”

Since the aforementioned instance, two further women have come into the public eye to accuse the 23-year-old of physical assault.

In an interview with Brazilian TV, Antony has defended himself amid calls for United to drop him from the squad.

“It’s something that doesn’t cross my mind. I know the truth and it will show up. I know there are a lot of people butchering me, but the truth comes out,” he said, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Speaking on physical abuse, Antony added “I don’t support this ever. It’s totally wrong, 100 per cent wrong. I have a mother, a sister, and I would never want this to happen to them.”

Cavallin claims that she needed hospital treatment after Antony attacked her at a Manchester hotel in January, but he said: “I wanted to go and told her that I had obligations and had to go, so she took plates and cups and threw them on the ground and I grabbed her in order to calm her down. I didn’t hurt her.

“I don’t support this (domestic abuse) ever. It’s totally wrong, 100 per cent wrong. I have a mother, a sister, and I would never want this to happen to them.”
