    Manchester United have released a statement after Greater Manchester Police launched a probe into Antony.<\/p>\n

    Antony has been accused by his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin of attacking her in a Manchester hotel room the day after United beat Manchester City 2-1 in January this year.<\/p>\n

    The Brazilian has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

    In a statement, United said: "Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the Police are conducting enquiries. Pending further information, the club will be making no further comments. <\/p>\n

    "As a club, we are taking this matter seriously, with consideration of the impact of these allegations and subsequent reporting will have on survivors of abuse."<\/p>\n

    Gabriela told Brazilian outlet UOL that the alleged attack left her with a cut to her head and a breast implant being damaged.<\/p>\n

    She has also alleged that Antony threatened to attack her while she was pregnant. Gabriela has also claimed Antony attacked her multiple times between June 2022 and May 2023.<\/p>\n
