Antony made big headlines last year when he joined Manchester United in an astonishing deal from Ajax. Flash-forward to today and the Brazil international is once again all over the news, but for the wrong reasons.
According to Brazilian outlet Globo, the winger’s former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, filed a police report against him on Monday for domestic violence, bodily injury and threat.
The incident would have taken place on May 20th, when the footballer was in England. However, the report didn’t say in which country the aggression occurred.
