Brazil and Manchester United winger Antony has been in the spotlight recently for all the wrong reasons. Back in May of this year, Antony was accused of physical abuse and psychological torture, though on two separate occasions, Antony has denied these allegations.
Manchester United have acknowledged the allegations made against their player but have refused to comment further until the whole investigation is over. But recently, according to reports from the Daily Mail, United have been accused of helping Antony cover up the allegations of his assault on his ex-girlfriend, even though United quickly denied these rumors by saying they are ‘categorically false’.
🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United have been accused of covering up Antony’s assault allegations by his ex-girlfriend’s lawyers, as she leaks WhatsApp messages and claims she was treated by United’s team doctors.

According to Gabriella Cavallin, the club sent player support officer Daniele Bertoli to the Hyatt Regency Hotel on January 15th to arrange for a private doctor after the attack took place, which would prevent her from going to the hospital.
They also inquired about the attacks that happened and tried to conceal as much information as possible. These allegations against the club have been made by Gabriella and her lawyers to the Sao Paolo civic police. However, the club responded that it is common for United’s welfare team to arrange for doctors.
After all these allegations took place, Antony was excluded from the Brazil camp for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.
What did Gabriella Cavallin accuse Antony of?
Things just keep getting worse for Manchester United. After the whole Greenwood saga, Brazilian model and DJ Gabriella Cavalin accused the Manchester United winger of physically assaulting her. Multiple allegations have been made by Gabriella in June 2022 and May 2023.
He has been accused of head-butting her, which caused a cut to her scalp. Antony also threw her aggressively on the bed and then fell on top of her, which caused the silicone prosthesis of the implants to become dislodged in Gabriela’s breast, which later required reconstructive surgery.
He also punched her and even threatened to kill her if he saw her with someone else. Antony reportedly even took her passport. She also claimed that back in July 2022, after she had broken off with him, the Brazilian forced her out of the nightclub and pushed her into the car, repeatedly assaulting her, which caused her miscarriage. He even threatened to throw her out of the moving car at high speed.
It was also reported that Antony wanted to attack her face with glass, which left a wound on the finger of her right hand. According to Gabriella, she needed to leave as soon as possible; otherwise, she could have been killed.
