      Law student Rayssa de Freitas and banker Ingrid Lana have now also accused the World Cup ace of physical attacks, Brazilian outlets Jornal Extra and Record report.
      A police report from May 2022 by Rayssa, which has been made public, describes alleged violent behaviour from the Man United player and internet personality Mallu Ohana.
      Rayssa describes an alleged incident when she and Mallu –  Brazil player Dudu’s ex-wife – got into the backseat of Antony’s Land Rover after a night out in São Paulo, Brazil.
      She claimed Antony was behind the wheel, and his hairdresser Rafa Contes, was also in the car.

      The influencer reportedly told cops in Brazil that she ended up falling out with Mallu because she didn’t want to “continue the fun” with the rest of them.
      Rayssa claimed the argument turned violent and she was attacked by Mallu and Antony.
      She alleged she opened the car’s back door and fled after Antony stopped at a traffic light.
      The police report claimed that a motorcyclist driving behind the Land Rover reportedly witnessed the alleged attack and wrote down Antony’s licence plate.

      As soon as Rayssa got out of the car, the motorcyclist claimed Antony sped off to an unknown destination.
      The law student was then hospitalised, the Brazilian newspaper reports.
      Ingrid Lana is the third alleged victim to come forward against the Premier League ace.
      The 33-year-old banker has accused Antony of physical violence in an interview with Record, set to be aired on Sunday.
      “He tried having [sexual] relations with me, but pushed me against a wall when I refused, and I hit my head,” Ingrid alleged to Record.
      Ingrid claims the alleged attack took place at Antony’s home in Manchester last October.
      In the unseen interview, the banker claims she never had a relationship with Antony but found his behaviour “strange”.
      “I was there strictly for business. He invited me and upon my arrival I discovered he had second intentions. I was never anyone’s mistress,” Ingrid said.
      Following the latest accusations, Antony’s representatives issued another statement blasting the allegation as “unfounded”.
      The statement, issued to news outlet F5, reads: “The player Antony Matheus dos Santos has been the target of unfounded accusations made by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.
      “Antony, through his defenders, has been closely following the police investigations within the scope of the ongoing inquiry at the 5th Police Station for the Defense of Women and trusts in the seriousness of the work of the police authority.
      “The investigation is being carried out in judicial secrecy, with no further comments on its content.
      “In respect for the principle of presumption of innocence, sober, impartial, cautious and professional treatment is expected from the media and the Civil Police, Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Judiciary act with impartiality and with respect for the right to defence.
      “Antony will remain at the disposal of the police authorities, trusting that, in the end, the truth will prevail with the recognition of his innocence.”
      The fresh accusations come hours after Man United strongly denied claims it covered up Antony’s assault allegations by Gabriela Cavallin.
      Sao Paulo Civil Police are investigating the allegations of assault alongside Greater Manchester Police.
      Cavallin accused the Brazilian star, who has been axed from the national squad, of physical aggression towards her on a number of occasions in bombshell claims.
      But the Old Trafford outfit described any suggestion of a cover-up as “categorically false” on Wednesday.
      A Manchester United spokesman told The Sun Online: “Any suggestion that the club covered-up these allegations is categorically false.”
      On Monday, amid further claims, Antony said he “trusts ongoing police investigations” to reveal the “truth about my innocence”.
      The star volunteered himself for interview in June.
      Meanwhile, United has also said it will co-operate with any police inquiries.
      Cavallin says she dated Brazil World Cup ace Antony, on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by respected sports news site ESPN.
      One of these claims allegedly occurred at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Manchester on January 15.
      Cavallin claims United dispatched a senior player support officer to the hotel that night.
      But according to Brazilian media, United confirmed a member of staff arranged for a private doctor to visit Cavallin at Antony’s request.
      However, the club denied that she was treated by any of the club’s medical staff.
      Reports in Brazil said Utd made a statement: “It’s understood to be common for United’s welfare team to arrange for doctors to see partners and family members of players.
      Read More on The Sun
      “The club insist that it was not aware of any of the allegations of assault against Antony until they appeared in the Brazilian media in June.”
      United has been advised to proceed cautiously on the basis that police investigations are ongoing in both the UK and Brazil.

      In 2011, he was sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of 19 offences of indecent assault and gross indecency against girls aged under 16 and 14, reports The Times.
      But Konopka was recently welcomed to Old Trafford as a special guest – despite him having an “active suspension” from working or coaching for any team.

      Geoff Konopka was the manager of Manchester United Ladies from 1983 to 2001.
      The team played in informal fixtures at Wembley in 1994 and again in 1996 – and were one of the first women’s squads to do so.

      Konopka was quoted praising the club for helping the squad, adding: “We were so well looked after.”
      When did Geoff Konopka manage Manchester United Ladies? 
      Geoff Konopka was in charge of Man Utd’s ladies team from 1983 to 2001.
      Manchester United recently welcomed him to Old Trafford as a special guest – despite him having an “active suspension” from working or coaching for any team.
      In March last year he attended a Women’s Super League game to watch the team play against Everton at home.

      “I am sickened and disgusted to see this vile man online.”
      The club said in a statement: “Manchester United has recently received information around these convictions, and as a matter of urgency has been in contact with the relevant legal and football authorities to substantiate the facts.

      Man Utd are in centre of another domestic violence storm with Antony’s police probe the latest headache for club

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could have been forgiven for breathing a sigh of relief just before 11pm on Friday.That was the time when Mason Greenwood’s loan move to Spanish club Getafe was confirmed.

      And while he remains on the Old Trafford payroll, the young forward is somebody else’s problem — for the next few months at least.
      Yet there was little time for anyone at United to get too comfortable.
      Because another major headache was lurking just around the corner — as often seems to be the case with this club.
      Some United supporters might have thought the 3-1 defeat at the hands of rivals Arsenal on Sunday was bad enough.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Then it was compounded by a public ding dong between boss Erik ten Hag and £73million England man Jadon Sancho over his omission from the squad.
      Yet as it turned out, that was nothing.
      Just hours later, it got worse still as United found themselves at the centre of another domestic violence storm.
      On Monday, it emerged that Brazil winger Antony was being investigated by police in both Manchester and Sao Paulo.
      Most read in Football

      His former partner, Gabriela Cavallin, first made accusations against him in June — but has now published new ones in her homeland.
      She claims the 23-year-old had threatened her while she was pregnant, damaged her breast implant, cut her finger with a glass and threatened to throw her out of a speeding car.
      Meanwhile, the former Ajax star released a statement on his social media later that day strongly refuting the latest accusations.
      Antony acknowledged that the relationship had been “tumultuous” with many verbal rows — but said suggestions of physical aggression were not true.
      Despite his confidence the police investigations would reveal he was innocent, he found himself dropped by his national team for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.
      In the following 24 hours there were growing calls from domestic violence charities for United to take action themselves.
      One of those came from Countdown presenter and long-standing Red Devils fan Rachel Riley — who had also spoken out strongly about her club’s handling of Greenwood.
      She described the alleged incidents as ‘heinous’ and called for domestic abuse experts to be involved in any decision-making at the club.
      Meanwhile, Andrea Simon, director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition told United ‘the world is watching’ how they handled the situation.
      The club finally released a statement yesterday morning and insisted they are taking the matter seriously.
      But they are waiting for the police investigations on both sides of the Atlantic to be concluded before they decide on a course of action.
      At the moment, the only evidence out there comes from Cavallin — and her version of events has been strongly rebuffed by Antony.
      Currently there is no internal probe being carried out and the feeling at United is that he is innocent until proven guilty.
      But United sources say they have learnt lessons from the criticism they got over their handling of the Greenwood case.
      They have also taken external advice from the PFA and Women’s Aid — and have pledged to co- operate fully with police enquiries.
      Greenwood was only suspended by the club following his arrest in January last year — and, as yet, Antony has not been charged with anything.
      So as things stand, the club have resisted calls to suspend the Brazil winger and — in theory at least — he will be available for selection when Ten Hag’s men return to action in nine days.

      The hope will be that he is cleared of any wrongdoing in the meantime and be ready to face Brighton at Old Trafford.
      Yet it remains to be seen how being at the centre of such damaging allegations will affect a player who has struggled to justify his huge price-tag since he arrived in Manchester last summer. More

      The winger was then spotted walking out on crutches backstage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
      It was later revealed that the 21-year-old suffered a knee injury that he is currently recovering from.
      The Ivory Coast international took to Instagram where he shared a story to reveal he is on his way back to full fitness “step by step”.
      Amad shared a picture of his knee which appears to have a big scar on it, suggesting he underwent surgery.

      It doesn’t appear like the Ivorian will be fit enough to come in to the first team and offer solutions to manager Erik ten Hag’s depleted attack any time soon.
      This comes as Jadon Sancho’s future at Old Trafford was plunged into uncertainty following an explosive post on Twitter targeting Ten Hag.
      The Dutch tactician claimed he left Sancho out of his squad that lost at Arsenal on Sunday because he didn’t perform at the required level during training.
      The winger denied those claims on social media and claimed he has become a “scapegoat”.

      Antony has also been accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin and domestic abuse campaigners urged the Manchester giants to ditch him.
      Police in Manchester and Sao Paulo are investigating, while the winger was also dropped by Brazil for their 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.
      United issued the following statement: “Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony and notes that the Police are conducting enquiries.

      United were forced into a U-turn over Greenwood coming back to the first team after charges of attempted rape and assault were dropped.
      A public backlash led to the Red Devils dropping the striker, who then moved to Spain.

      He allegedly told Gabriela that he “hopes she dies” and branded her “disgusting” and “deceitful” after she ignored his calls and texts.
      The DJ and influencer also went public with pictures of her injuries while revealing horror details of the alleged attacks she suffered.
      She claimed Antony punched and headbutted her, as well as threatening to crash their car after she tried to end their relationship.

      Gabriela alleged that her finger was also cut to the bone and that the footballer attacked her while she was pregnant.
      A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by respected sports news site ESPN.
      Antony has denied assaulting Gabriela Cavallin and vowed to clear his name after being quizzed by cops in Brazil.
      He added that his relationship with Gabriela was “tumultuous” but claims it never resulted in violence.

      The star has been axed from the national squad and replaced by Gabriel Jesus ahead of this month’s two World Cup qualifiers.
      Gabriela has now shared further harrowing details of the alleged abuse in an interview with Brazilian media outlet UOL, one of the South American country’s largest news providers.
      BREAST IMPLANT
      Gabriela claims that she was forced to undergo surgery to fix her silicone breast implants after Antony attacked her in January.
      She alleged that the “jealous” star erupted in anger during an argument about one of her former flames from “years ago”.
      The DJ explained: “He was very jealous of famous people I had already been with. It doesn’t matter if it was ten years ago or yesterday. 
      “He didn’t have this notion of time and space, it seems.”
      Antony is alleged to have punched her in the chest, causing her breast implant to “turn over” and dangerously displacing it.
      Gabriela claims the Brazil World Cup ace also cut her head after his watch collided with it as he wrestled with her.
      She said she was forced to fly back to Brazil for an operation to change her implants and remedy the issue in wake of the incident.
      The 23-year-old claimed Antony insisted he “didn’t mean to hurt her” and that her injury was caused “by accident.”
      NEYMAR ROW
      The same month, the former couple are alleged to have had an explosive row over fellow Brazilian footballer Neymar.
      Gabriela claims that Antony accused her of liking the Paris Saint-Germain star’s photos on social media, which she denied.
      She explained that she had actually liked a number of posts that Neymar’s pal and her “mutual friend” Gil Cebola had shared online.
      The Brazilian beauty said: “I didn’t like photos of Neymar. Gil posted a photo with Neymar and a few other people, and I liked it. 
      “That was four years ago. I didn’t even know Antony existed at that time. But Antony kept looking, you know? 
      “He would go on people’s Instagram and look for old photos to see if I had liked them. If I had commented. 
      “After I met Antony, I never liked anyone’s photo again. I didn’t even speak to anyone, neither Gil nor Neymar. Anything.”
      SMASHED UP HOUSE
      The DJ, who has been separated from Antony since May, says she decided to put an end to the relationship after one of the most violent episodes she says she has faced. 
      After a fight at home, Antony allegedly threw a glass at her, seriously injuring the fingers of her hand, while hurling threats and insults.
      Gabriela claims she was scared for her life after her ex began smashing up items, locked the door to their home and refused to let her leave.
      She said: “He broke all my things. He took my passport. His mother and stepfather even trapped him inside the football court in the living room, surrounded by a fence, as if it were a fence.
      “He was upset, trying to get out of the court in any way, throwing a football at me. Playing cell phones on me.
      “He said he was going to kill me, that I had destroyed his life. After that day, I said ‘enough’.”
      Gabriela said that Antony’s “wonderful” physiotherapist managed to convince the footie star to let her leave and go to the hospital.
      The influencer, who has nearly 500,000 Instagram followers, says she has been unable to get surgery to fix her fingers due to the ongoing legal proceedings in Brazil and the UK.
      VIOLENT THREATS
      Gabriela explained she discovered she was carrying Antony’s child in May last year, two months before the alleged abuse began.
      She claims the Man U winger first attacked her at a nightclub in São Paulo last July, when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.
      Antony allegedly dragged her out by the arm and hair then pushed her into a car after she ended their romance.
      After being shunted into the vehicle, she claims he “tried to crash the car” and threatened to kill himself if she left him.
      “He said things like that, if I weren’t going to be with him, I wouldn’t be with anyone, that I was pregnant with his child,” Gabriela said.
      She claimed he was speeding down a motorway in the rain at a whopping 124mph, while she pleaded with him to slow down.
      Antony is said to have eventually stopped the vehicle before running off into the night, with Gabriela and a pal chasing after him.
      “We found him lying on the sidewalk, crying. Too crazy. One minute he was crying, one minute he was hitting me,” she alleged.
      Gabriella said she woke the next day to find she was excessively bleeding and spent three days in hospital as a result.
      Antony allegedly told her that “it wasn’t him, that it was a moment of anger, that he himself got it into his head that he hadn’t done it.”
      She continued: “I said: ‘But did you try to crash the car?’. 
      “Then he said: ‘It’s not like I was going to crash the car, I just moved the steering wheel a little’. 
      “I said, ‘You slapped me. Him: I didn’t slap you, I went to hold you, what did you do?'”
      Gabriela says she felt “obligated” to forgive him as she feared he would hurt himself and because she “didn’t want to be alone” during her pregnancy.
      In July, Gabriela shared on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage. The baby boy would have been named Luca Mateo.
      ABUSE WORSENED
      Following his transfer from Ajax to the Red Devils, Antony’s alleged violent outbursts are alleged to have worsened.
      Gabriela claims despite moving from Amsterdam to Manchester for a fresh start, the 23-year-old became “more aggressive and impatient”.
      She believes Antony was crumbling under the pressure of the club’s high expectations, prompting him to start “really stupid fights, sometimes for no reason”.
      The DJ said: “I believe it was due to problems he had at his new club [Manchester United]. 
      “He wasn’t delivering as much as people were expecting from him. He didn’t talk much, he didn’t express what he was feeling, you know? 
      “The attacks were external. Objects, things from home, room, and after a while, in February, it started to be me.”

      Gabriela claimed he was triggered by her moving to another room to take a phone call, if “someone liked her photo”, or if she simply went to the bathroom alone.
      “If I went to a party with him, greeted someone, he wanted to hit me. I couldn’t go out without him anymore,” she alleged.
