Manchester United’s Antony is pictured back in training at Carrington for the FIRST time since his domestic abuse allegations

Manchester United winger Antony has been pictured back in training for the first time since domestic abuse allegations against him. 

The 23-year-old returned from South America on Tuesday, where he has been on fully-paid leave following allegations he attacked three women. 

Antony’s last appearance for United was against Arsenal on September 3. 

He voluntarily met with Greater Manchester Police for questioning on Thursday. He was not arrested or detained and went home without restrictions.

Antony also trained at Carrington on Saturday after watching United’s defeat to Crystal Palace.

United cleared Antony to return to first-team duties with the women’s team also informed of his return to the training base.

United said in a statement that Antony’s situation ‘will be kept under review pending further developments in the case’.

The statement read: ‘Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has cooperated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so.

‘As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.

‘As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.’

Antony’s ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin – one of the women to make allegations against him – broke her silence on the situation.

‘Gabriela Cavallin’s attorneys inform that the crimes committed by the player are still being investigated by the Manchester Police and also the Brazilian Police, which is why we believe that he will soon be sent to Court, where he will have to face a trial,’ a press release read.

‘It seems obvious to us that fallacies would be created with the intention that the team bring him back to training.’ 

United’s next game is at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday.
