Antony accuser 'DROPS her complaint against the Man United star filed in 2022'

One of the three women to accuse Manchester United star Antony of violent behaviour has dropped their case, according to a new report.

The 23-year-old Brazil international was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin on four occasions, which is being investigated by police in Sao Paulo and Manchester. Antony has denied any wrongdoing, and has not been arrested or charged.

Seperately, Ingrid Lana, a 33-year-old banker, alleged in an interview with Record TV in Brazil that Antony was aggressive towards her in October 2022, and claimed that the footballer could have killed her with his actions.

But The Telegraph report that a third case, involving an incident in a car in May 2022, has been withdrawn at the request of the alleged victim.

Law student Rayssa de Freitas had claimed that she needed hospital treatment following an incident in May of last year when 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.

The Telegraph report that the report - made to Sao Paulo Civil Police - has since been retracted in full. It is thought both women in the car had accused the other of sexual assault.

The Telegraph go on to claim that Manchester United were unaware of the existence of this police report until Brazilian media coverage earlier this month, despite the alleged incident taking place three months before his move to the Premier League club.

Antony played for two seasons at Ajax under Man United manager Erik ten Hag, before moving to Old Trafford on September 1 2022 for £85m after the Dutchman joined the Premier League club that summer.

Manchester United say they carried out due diligence checks on Antony - standard
