Manchester United denies lying about alleged abuse of Antony

Manchester United have strongly denied claims that they tried to hide Antony’s allegations of abuse, stating that these claims are completely untrue.

Antony’s ex-girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, claims that he has physically harmed her multiple times when they were together in Manchester and Brazil.

Cavallin also claims that a support officer for the player, who was working for United, contacted a club doctor after she was assaulted by Antony at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in January.

United have said that someone from their staff arranged for a private doctor to see Cavallin after Antony asked, but they say that the club’s own medical team did not treat her.

United said: ‘It’s absolutely not true that the club tried to hide these allegations. ‘
Antony won’t be playing for Brazil in their games against Bolivia and Peru because of some accusations made against him.

United are feeling pressured to do the same, but they haven’t announced that Antony, who they bought for £85 million from Ajax last year, will be stopped from playing while the police investigate.

Manchester United said on Wednesday that they are aware of the accusations against Antony and that the Police are investigating.

The club will not say anything else until they learn more information.

‘We are a club that is treating this issue seriously, as we understand how the allegations and the following news reports can affect abuse survivors. ’
Antony said that he and Cavallin have a very troubled relationship, but he has denied the accusations of physically hurting Cavallin.

Antony said on his Instagram that he had to talk about the lies people have accused him of because he wants to show respect to his fans, friends, and family.

I have taken this issue seriously and respectfully. I have answered the police’s questions and provided the necessary information. The investigation done by the police is being protected by the principles of fairness, so I can’t share what it involves with the public.

But I am certain that the accusations are untrue and the evidence already shown and yet to be shown prove that I didn’t do what I’m accused of. I have a connection with Ms. Gabriela was chaotic, with hurtful words from both sides, but I never used any physical violence.

Whenever she speaks, either in a testimony or an interview, she tells a different story about the accusations.

So, I want to say that I disagree with the accusations and I am ready to help the Brazilian authorities with any information they need. I believe the police investigations will show that I am innocent.

Cavallin gave a detailed account to Brazilian authorities in June, stating that Antony had assaulted, physically hurt, and threatened them.

Antony is being accused of hitting Cavallin with his head, causing her to have a cut on her head that had to be treated by a doctor.

Cavallin says she got hit in the chest by the United player and it hurt her silicone breast implant, so she had to get it fixed with surgery.

Antony is also accused of saying he would kill Cavallin during a phone call on May 20th. This happened on the same day he played in United’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The police in Greater Manchester are aware of the accusations that have been made. They are still investigating to find out exactly what happened.
