MANCHESTER United star Antony has been pictured heading to the police station amid allegations that he attacked his former lover.
The 23-year-old is said to have voluntarily headed to the cop shop to face questions regarding Gabriela Cavallin’s claims.
The winger landed at Manchester Airport on Monday night after flying in from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to face the music.
Antony apparently contacted Greater Manchester Police and volunteered to meet them for questioning.
He is set to deny the claims that he attacked his ex-girlfriend Gabriela, leaving her with a sliced finger and head wound.
The Man United ace is said to be planning to hand his phone over to officers to aid their investigations, the Times reports.

Antony was seen leaving his home in Hale Barns – which is Paul Pogba’s former mansion – just before 4pm this afternoon.
His current partner Rosilene Silva was also pictured leaving the sprawling property shortly before he departed.
A source said: “Antony is adamant he has done nothing wrong and wants to sit down with officers and let them ask him questions.
“He has nothing to hide and will hand over anything they want to see including his mobile phone.

“He wants to be exonerated as quickly as possible so he can get on with his football career again without any distractions.”
He was also voluntarily interviewed by Brazilian cops in June and was free to leave for the UK after cooperating with Sao Paulo police.
Gabriela, 22, has accused the £85million winger of assaulting her on numerous occasions throughout their relationship.
She claimed that she was first attacked in June last year, while pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.
The model and DJ alleged that Antony then headbutted and punched her, damaging a breast implant, at a hotel in Manchester on January 15.
And she claimed he threw a glass at her in May, injuring her finger.
Two other women have made similar claims against the footballer.
Antony has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from United amid the serious allegations made against him.
Gabriela led calls for the £150,000-a-week star to be dropped from the squad in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday.
Antony denies any wrongdoing and gave a tearful TV interview in which he said: “I know the truth and it will come out.
