Manchester United winger Antony has denied allegations that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.

Cavallin has claimed that Antony attacked her while she was pregnant, damaged her breast implant, left her with cuts and threatened to throw her out of a speeding car.

Antony issued a statement on Monday night denying the allegations from Cavallin. “I can say with confidence that the accusations are false,” he wrote on social media.

“My relationship with Ms Gabriela was tumultuous, with verbal offenses from both sides, but I never practiced any physical aggression.

“I trust the ongoing police investigations will reveal the truth about my innocence.”
