Manchester United winger, Antony’s former partner has urged the club to formally suspend him after making domestic abuse allegations against him.

The player’s ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin, a model, alleged that he assaulted her on four occasions, while he has also been accused by two more women in Brazil, Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana. He has denied any wrongdoing.

Brazil have dropped 23-year-old Antony from their national team squad for games against Bolivia and Peru. But his club, United are yet to take any action.

Cavallin told The Sun on Sunday, September 10, that the man who joined for £85.5million from Dutch side Ajax in September 2022 and is on a salary of around £150,000 a week, must be axed.

She said: ‘Antony must be taken off the pitch. It’s disappointing that he’s still allowed to play while an investigation is underway.

‘I’m absolutely devastated by this whole process. How can life go on as normal for him? They can’t know what they know now and do nothing. He has to be suspended.’
