Earlier this week, the player was dropped from the Brazil squad following allegations from an ex-girlfriend that he headbutted and punched her and threw a glass cup towards her.
"He pushed me against the wall and I hit my head. My purpose was just business. Arriving there at his invitation, I realised he had ulterior motives."
Antony is accused of attacking Cavallin, a social media influencer,"with a headbutt" in a Manchester hotel room on 15 January, leaving her with a cut to the head which needed treatment from a doctor.Cavallin also alleges she was punched in the chest by Antony, which she claims caused damage to a silicone breast implant that required corrective surgery back in Brazil.
Another alleged incident took place at a house on 8 May, during which she claims she suffered a cut finger while trying to protect herself, accusing Antony of throwing a glass cup towards her as well as then taking her passport. Cavallin is said to have filed a report to the Sao Paulo Civil Police concerning allegations of physical and verbal abuse by Antony while on holiday in Brazil during June 2022, when she was pregnant, as well as making a separate complaint to Greater Manchester Police .but did not say whether he remained available for selection.
Antony, who signed for United from Ajax in an £85m deal last September, has appeared 31 times since Cavallin made a complaint to GMP in January.Manchester United declined to comment when contacted by Sky Sports News.
