Antony is in the headlines for Man United amid his domestic violence episode. Gabriela Cavallin has now urged Manchester United to remove him from the squad. She and two other women accused him of domestic violence. The entire story takes new layers and it might hurt Antony later in the season. Cavallin may push United to take a strong call on the Brazilian.
Gabriela Cavallin is Antony’s ex-girlfriend and she is not happy with Man United. She feels the club is taking a slow response to allegations. According to her allegations, the Brazilian had attacked her on various occasions. The violence happened between June 2022 and May 2023. The DJ and model wants Man United to disallow Antony from playing this season.
As per the latest interview on the Brazilian website UOL, Gabriela Cavallin claimed that Antony had headbutted her, thrown a glass, and threatened to push her out of a moving vehicle. She said that these incidents happened on various occasions. Meanwhile, the Man United winger has claimed it was rubbish and denied all of her accusations. He has pleaded his innocence in a recent TV interview.
‘The truth will come out’ Antony breaks silence & denies assault allegations
Antony has to deal with other two women who also accused him. Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana made assault allegations against the Brazilian. The police investigations have started already. Both Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo Police are dealing with the case.
Apart from this investigation, Antony’s ex-girlfriend has asked Man United to ban the Brazilian winger from playing. She said, “Antony needs to be taken off the pitch. It’s disappointing he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation. I am absolutely destroyed by the whole process. How can life go on as normal for him? They can’t just know what they know now and not do anything. He needs to be removed.”
Man United have to deal with it smartly because they faced a similar kind of case earlier. We all know Mason Greenwood’s story. The club had faced criticism and Greenwood has been removed from the Man United squad. One source told GOAL that Man United has been advised to tread cautiously. However, fans want strong action here. The 22-year-old DJ and Model feel Man United are repeating the same type of mistake.
United issued an official statement on the matter earlier this week. Gabriela Cavallin also added in her interview, “Why did it take United three months? It’s just not OK. I prefer not to believe such a huge club, with such serious and professional people, would cover up a situation like this.”
