“Manchester United Grapples with Allegations Against Star Player Antony”
Manchester United (MU) finds itself entangled in a controversy surrounding their prized player, Antony, as allegations of assault by two more women surface. The club, weary of the ongoing accusations, has now taken a definitive stance on the matter.
Antony Accused of Concealing Assault on Former Girlfriend: The scandal involving Antony, the Brazilian sensation, has left Manchester United grappling with a tumultuous private life. The player is accused of physically assaulting his former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, prompting serious concerns for his career at the club.
Additional Accusations Compound the Issue: In a shocking turn of events, two more women from Brazil have come forward, claiming they were assaulted by Antony in 2022. These allegations further escalate the crisis, putting Antony’s future at MU in jeopardy.
Details of Alleged Incidents: Rayssa de Freitas, a law student, revealed that she had to seek medical attention after an incident involving Antony and Mallu Ohana, the former wife of Brazilian player Dudu, in May of last year. In another incident, Ingrid Lana, a 33-year-old bank employee, accused Antony of assaulting her during an interview with Record TV in October.
Antony’s Denial and Mounting Pressure: Antony vehemently denies all allegations, but the tide seems to be turning against him. With two additional women from Brazil now coming forward, the situation grows increasingly complex.
MU’s Deliberate Handling of the Situation: Following the Mason Greenwood incident, MU is approaching Antony’s case with utmost caution. The club emphasizes a thorough investigation before making any specific decisions.
Gabriela Cavallin’s Account: Gabriela Cavallin, who had been in a relationship with Antony for two years, alleges a pattern of continuous assault and threats after their breakup. The renowned Brazilian DJ filed a formal complaint against Antony with both the São Paulo and Greater Manchester police.
Antony’s World Cup Qualification in Jeopardy: Despite Antony’s firm denial, he finds himself excluded from the Brazilian national team’s training camp for the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
MU’s Response and Allegations of Cover-Up: MU, under intense public scrutiny, issued a statement acknowledging the incident. However, unlike the suspension of Mason Greenwood two years prior, Antony remains in the squad. The club awaits the results of Greater Manchester police’s investigation before taking further action.
The Controversy’s Impact on MU’s Reputation: Many believe MU is under scrutiny for potentially shielding Antony, the star they invested 100 million euros in, from Ajax last summer. Gabriela Cavallin claims that MU sent a support staff member to tend to her injuries on January 15th, after the alleged assault.
As investigations unfold, both the São Paulo and Greater Manchester police are scrutinizing the role of the support staff and have requested CCTV footage from the hotel for verification. MU maintains that while they did send a support staff member at Antony’s request, Gabriela Cavallin received no medical treatment or sustained any further harm. The situation surrounding Antony remains a critical challenge for Manchester United, as they navigate the delicate balance between supporting their star player and upholding their reputation.
