However, Antony has denied any wrongdoing, and has neither been arrested nor charged.

Also, 33-year-old banker, Ingrid Lana, during an interview in Brazil, alleged that Antony was aggressive towards her in October 2022. She claimed that the football player could have killed her with his actions.

Meanwhile, a third case, involving a car incident, has been dropped by alleged victim, Rayssa de Freitas.

Rayssa, a law student had claimed she needed hospital treatment after an incident in May 2022. She claimed she was attacked by Antony and Mallu Ohana – the ex-wife of Brazil player Dudu – in Antony’s Land Rover after the three left a Sao Paulo nightclub.

According to The Telegraph, the report has been retracted in full.

Antony temporarily dropped by Manchester United

Reportedly, De Freitas left the car when it stopped at a traffic light. According to reports, she later required hospital treatment after the incident.

In the midst of all these, Manchester United were unaware of the existence of a police report. It was until the Brazilian media covered the story earlier this month. This was despite the alleged incident happening three months prior to Antony’s Old Trafford move.

The Brazil player is presently on paid leave from United until further notice.
