"Manchester United is treating the allegations of domestic abuse against forward Antony with utmost seriousness. The 23-year-old player has faced accusations of physical aggression towards his former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, since January, which led to his exclusion from the Brazil squad. Antony denies these claims. The club acknowledges the ongoing police investigation and will refrain from further comments until more information is available. Manchester United is deeply concerned about the impact of these allegations on survivors of abuse. Antony's removal from the Brazil squad followed fresh claims published by Brazilian media outlet UOL. Antony has maintained his innocence and expressed trust in the ongoing police investigations to reveal the truth. The Brazilian FA confirmed his withdrawal from the squad for World Cup qualifiers, replacing him with Gabriel Jesus. Greater Manchester Police stated that they are aware of the allegations and continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the report, refraining from further comments at this time."
