Antony\u2019s former partner, Gabriela Cavallin,\u00a0has alleged that she has been physically attacked by the 23-year-old on multiple occasions during their time together in Manchester and in their native Brazil.<\/p>\n
Cavallin alleges that one of the attacks took place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Manchester in January.<\/p>\n
The allegations were initially raised by Cavallin to Brazilian authorities in Sao Paulo in June, while a 42-page legal document has since been submitted to GMP.<\/p>\n
Antony, who denies the accusations made by Cavallin, has been placed on an indefinite leave of absence by United.<\/p>\n
The winger was also dropped from Brazil\u2019s national side during the international break earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Antony was voluntarily\u00a0interviewed by police in Brazil in June and has not been arrested or charged.<\/p>\n
After being placed on leave by United earlier this month, Antony said: \u2018I have agreed with Manchester United to take a period of absence while I address the allegations made against me. This was a mutual decision to avoid distraction to my team-mates and unnecessary controversy for the club.<\/p>\n
\u2018I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of, and I will fully cooperate with the police to help them reach the truth. I look forward to returning to play as soon as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n
