Antony spotted relaxing in Brazil after taking leave of absence amid assault allegations
Antony does not appear to be bothered by the wave of sexual and physical assault allegations against him.
Earlier this week, the winger was pictured relaxing at a gated estate just outside Sao Paulo with a group of friends.
The 23-year-old, looking relaxed, eagerly posed for selfies with fans who recognised the Manchester United star.
Antony, who has been given a leave absence by the Red Devils, will remain in Brazil while the tried to clear his name.
Manchester United Antony sexual and physical assault allegations
Manchester United’s Antony has been accused of assault by two more women, Ingrid Lana and Rayssa de Freitas, who made the allegations in Brazilian media.
Ingrid Lana, 33, claims that Antony shoved her head against a wall when she refused to have sex with him during a visit to his house in England last year. Rayssa de Freitas, a law student, is claimed to have approached police in São Paulo in May of last year, saying she had been physically assaulted by Antony in his car after leaving a nightclub.
These claims come at the end of a week in which Antony was dropped from the Brazil squad over ongoing investigations into allegations of assault brought by the player’s former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin. Antony has yet to comment on the new allegations and has not been charged with any offence. He has dismissed the claims relating to Cavallin as “false allegations”.
Manchester United have not commented on the new allegations but earlier this week said of the Cavallin claims: “Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the police are conducting enquiries."
