Model Gabriela Cavallin, the ex-girlfriend of Antony Matheus dos Santos of Manchester United has urged Old Trafford bosses to ban him from playing while police investigate claims he assaulted her.
She told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Antony needs to be taken off the pitch. It’s disgusting he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation
The 23 years old Antony gave a tearful TV interview in his home country on Friday denying the claims and vowing to clear his name.
Gabriela told the police that Antony assaulted her four times.
She previously alleged she was first attacked in June 2022 while pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.
And she claimed in January Antony headbutted and punched her in a Manchester hotel, damaging a breast implant.
And she claimed he threw a glass at her in May, injuring her finger.
She insisted that “Antony needs to be taken off the pitch. It’s disappointing he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation.
“I am absolutely destroyed by the whole process. How can life go on as normal for him? They can’t just know what they know now and not do anything. He needs to be removed.”
Gabriela, 22, demanded to know why United bosses waited three months to respond to the abuse allegations.
After the allegations were reported by Brazilian media ,Antony was dropped from the national squad, two days later United issued a statement insisting they were taking the matter seriously but would not act during the police inquiry.
In tears, Gabriela told us: “Why did it take United three months?
“It’s just not OK. I prefer not to believe such a huge club, with such serious and professional people, would cover up a situation like this.”
