      The Brazilian beauty’s mysterious exit fuels potential rumours that things in the Man Utd star’s home might not be sailing smooth.
      The past couple of days have been quite the whirlwind for the £85million winger as he strongly denies assaulting ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.
      The DJ and influencer says she dated the World Cup star on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      Gabriela claims the first assault came at a nightclub in São Paulo last July when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.

      On Monday evening, Gabriela, who has nearly 500,000 Instagram followers, published a letter issued by her legal team.
      It read: “Gabriela Cavallin’s defence, in view of the facts and evidence that became public knowledge on this date, regarding the repeated episodes of aggression suffered by her, informs that she trusts the serious and competent investigation by the Civil Police of São Paulo.
      “[And] hopes that, as such, once completed, the aggressor will be prosecuted and punished for the crimes he committed.”
      A statement from Antony was also published in the same evening, where he said he felt “obliged” to break his silence “out of respect for my fans, friends and family”.

      The 23-year-old footballer once again denied the accusations of domestic violence after a first statement published in June.
      “Out of respect for my fans, friends and family, I feel obliged to speak out publicly about the false accusations that I have been a victim of,” he wrote.
      “From the beginning, I have treated this matter with seriousness and respect, providing the necessary clarifications to the police.
      “The investigation is under judicial secrecy, and therefore I cannot make its contents public.
      “However, I can calmly say that the accusations are false, and that the current evidence and the ones yet to be produced demonstrate my innocence.
      He added that his relationship with Gabriela was “tumultuous” but claims it never resulted in violence.
      “My relationship with Mrs. Gabriela was tumultuous, with verbal insults from both sides, but I never committed any physical aggression,” he explained.
      “Each time, whether in testimony or in an interview, she presents a different version of the accusations.
      “Therefore, I come to vehemently deny the accusations made and inform you that I remain at the entire disposal of the Brazilian authorities to clarify anything.
      “I trust that ongoing police investigations will demonstrate the truth about my innocence.”
      The online statement war comes after Gabriela shared a new string of text messages and pictures of her injuries as cops in Brazil carry on with the domestic violence probe.
      Cavallin’s fresh claims were first published by Brazilian media outlet UOL, one of the South American country’s largest news providers.
      Gabriela also shared two new images showing injuries on her head and fingers, claiming to be a result of Antony’s alleged attacks.
      She alleges her finger was cut to the bone and that the footballer attacked her while she was pregnant.
      In the new string of undated WhatsApp messages, the DJ and influencer claims Antony wished she was dead and told her “go f**k yourself” after she allegedly refused to reply to his messages and calls.
      The Premier League ace was also axed from the Brazil national squad and replaced by Gabriel Jesus ahead of this month’s two World Cup qualifiers.
      In a statement, the Brazilian FA (CBF) informed that the cut occurred “due to the facts that became public this Monday and that need to be investigated, and in order to preserve the alleged victim.”
      GMP said in a statement on Monday on Antony: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of the allegations made and enquiries remain ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this report.

      Man Utd fan Rachel Riley blasts ‘heinous’ Antony abuse allegations after taking stand against club over Mason Greenwood

      by

      MANCHESTER United fan Rachel Riley has blasted Antony over domestic violence allegations after previously taking a stand against the club over Mason Greenwood.The presenter, 37, called for domestic abuse experts to be involved in Man United’s “club processes” as the £85million winger denies assaulting ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.

      Rachel’s intervention comes after she was also outspoken against United reintegrating Greenwood into the squad before his move to Getafe.
      She claimed that the club were “green-lighting abuse” with their apparent support for the player – and vowed to stop supporting Man Utd if they allowed the forward to return.
      The Countdown co-host and Man United fan has now reacted to the allegations against Antony after his ex shared new texts and pictures apparently detailing her claims.
      The star has been dropped by the Brazil national team, and is facing police probes in his home country and in the UK.

      Antony denies all allegations and has vowed to clear his name.
      Cavallin alleges she was verbally and physically abused by the footballer, claiming he left her with a sliced finger and attacked her while she was pregnant.
      “Is anyone doing any due diligence on these players?” Riley wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
      “Heinous stuff described in these accusations.”

      “This time domestic abuse experts need to be involved in the club’s processes.”
      A spokesman for Manchester United said the club does not have any comment.

      “We will not be commenting any further at this time.”
      On Monday, Gabriela hit back with a formal letter on Instagram as cops carry on an investigation in her native São Paulo, Brazil.
      The influencer and DJ’s statement comes after Antony released his own lengthy statement on Instagram, admitting he had a “tumultuous” relationship with Gabriela.
      She says she dated the World Cup ace on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      The 23-year-old claims the first assault came at a nightclub in São Paulo last July when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.

      Real reason Arsenal fan Scott Law ‘headbutted’ Roy Keane investigated after ‘attack’ left blood on stadium floor

      by

      THE real reason Arsenal fan Scott Law allegedly headbutted Roy Keane is being investigated – after the reported attack left blood on the stadium floor.Law broke his nose clashing with Sky Sports pundit Keane, The Sun revealed yesterday.

      Arsenal fan Scott Law broke his nose headbutting Keane
      Law was bailed last night
      Now it is alleged that Law was fuming after Keane cheered from the punditry studio when United briefly went ahead through Alejandro Garnacho’s 88th minute strike – before it was disallowed for offside.
      Law, 42, was arrested and last night bailed – while Keane was seen today with his face showing no sign of any injuries.
      Witnesses claim Law confronted Keane after Sunday’s Premier League match before launching a bungled headbutt which hit him in the shoulder.
      The impact apparently broke Law’s nose, with hardman Keane unhurt but “a bit shaken”.
      Read More Roy Keane
      Witnesses claimed blood was left splattered on the ground of the West Stand of the Gunners’ Emirates Stadium.
      Pals of Law, a £2,500 hospitality season ticket holder, say Keane hurled abuse at fans below.
      It is claimed Keane was then set upon as he made his way pitchside for analysis of Arsenal’s 3-1 victory.
      Video shared on social media yesterday showed fellow Sky pundit Micah Richards separating Law from Keane.
      Most read in Football
      Keane was heard asking for stewards to call police before Law left the scene.
      Arsenal officials are understood to have worked out his identity from electronic ticket purchases and handed cops his name and address.
      Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of ABH.
      He is understood to have been bailed after spending a few hours in custody.
      A source alleged: “Keane was giving it to the Arsenal fans when United scored, and it wound some up. He seemed to be provoking them.
      “Scott went to the concourse, saw him and headbutted him but he only hit his shoulder and did more damage to himself.
      “He broke his nose and Keane didn’t seem to be hurt at all, just a bit shaken up.”
      ‘SHAKEN’
      Another fan who witnessed the incident said: “The fan seemingly tried to headbutt Roy Keane.
      “Micah Richards stepped in and pushed the fan back against the door. I heard the altercation and I was shocked to see the individuals involved.”
      Sources said former Republic of Ireland midfielder Keane and ex-Man City defender Richards, 35, were left “shaken” by the incident but continued with their matchday duties.
      The pair have struck up a firm friendship off the field since meeting through punditry and have appeared in several spin-off shows together.
      Sky Sports will review security for its pundits and presenters for the rest of the season.
      Keane, who clashed with former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira in the tunnel at Arsenal’s old stadium at Highbury in 2005, was back home with his family yesterday in Hale, Cheshire.
      He was pictured taking his two dogs for a walk but refused to comment, covering his face from the cameras with a jumper.
      SEEING RED
      Richards touched briefly on the incident yesterday while recording The Rest is Football podcast with Match of the Day’s Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.
      Lineker asked: “One of us had an interesting weekend, Micah, you were in the news?”
      Richards responded: “Oh my word. Gary, I’m not allowed to talk about it.”
      Lineker then clarified: “Because it’s under police investigation?”
      Richards confirmed that stating: “Exactly, but when I am allowed to talk about it, The Rest Is Football will get it first.”
      Shearer said: “I think the common opinion is don’t f*** with Big Meeks (Richards)!”
      Referring to the US law about the right to remain silent, Richards replied: “No comment. I plead the Fifth (Amendment)!”
      Lineker wrapped up the discussion by clarifying: “It is not something we should trivialise because it is a serious matter and we will wait until the police investigation is done until we discuss that story further.”
      Arsenal said yesterday: “We are aware of an incident that took place during our match against Manchester United on Sunday.
      “The Metropolitan Police is conducting an investigation into the matter and we are fully co-operating with their inquiries.”
      Manchester United did not wish to comment. Sky Sports confirmed: “Micah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.”
      The Met said: “Police are investigating an incident at Emirates Stadium on Sunday September 3, during which a man was assaulted.
      “On Monday September 4, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH).
      Read More on The Sun
      “The man has been taken into custody. Inquiries are ongoing.”
      There was no answer at Law’s Essex home last night. More

      ARSENAL’S victory over Manchester United during their Premier League clash has been overshadowed by antics off the pitch. Footage emerged that allegedly showed pundit Roy Keane being headbutted by a Gunners supporter inside the Emirates Stadium.

      Who is Scott Law?
      Scott Law, 42, is a married dad-of-two named locally as the fan at the centre of the incident that unfolded in the West Stand on Sunday, September 3, 2023.
      He was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH) the following day and was taken into custody, the Met Police said.
      The Arsenal fan, who is a £2,500 hospitality season ticket holder, was bailed a few hours later.
      Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, is alleged to have been involved in the dramatic altercation with Keane.

      Football officials are understood to have identified him as being involved in the incident through electronic ticket purchases.
      What happened with Roy Keane?
      Shocking footage emerged appearing to show the aftermath of a scuffle involving Roy Keane and Law inside the stadium.
      It appears to show the pundit’s Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards pinning a fan against a wall as he intervened.
      The former footballers had been waiting for a lift at the top of the West Stand in the final minutes of the match when the incident occurred.

      Keane and Richards were making their way from a studio down to the pitchside for a post-game discussion as part of Sky Sports’ coverage.
      The pair then tried to race back to the studio after Alejandro Garnacho scored what he thought to be United’s winner, before the goal was ruled out by VAR for an offside.
      A man, which witnesses claim was Law, is then alleged to have confronted Keane before launching a bungled headbutt.
      Friends of the football fan claimed that the Man United legend had been hurling abuse at Arsenal supporters below.
      The headbutt is said to have hit Keane in the shoulder, with the impact breaking Law’s nose.
      Hardman Keane was unhurt but “a bit shaken”.
      His colleague Richards stepped in to defuse the scuffle and appeared to grab the football fan by the collar.
      Both the pundits were eventually escorted down to the pitch, where they continued their broadcast alongside ex-Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and presenter Dave Jones.
      What has been said about the Scott Law incident with Roy Keane?
      Micah Richards briefly touched on the incident while he recorded The Rest is Football podcast with Match of the Day’s Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on Sunday.
      Lineker asked: “One of us had an interesting weekend, Micah, you were in the news?”
      Richards responded: “Oh my word. Gary, I’m not allowed to talk about it.” Lineker then clarified: “Because it’s under police investigation?”
      Richards confirmed that, stating: “Exactly, but when I am allowed to talk about it, The Rest Is Football will get it first.”
      Shearer said: “I think the common opinion is don’t f*** with Big Meeks (Richards)!”
      Referring to the US law about the right to remain silent, Richards replied: “No comment. I plead the Fifth (Amendment)!”
      Lineker wrapped up the discussion by adding: “It is not something we should trivialise because it is a serious matter and we will wait until the police investigation is done until we discuss that story further.”
      Arsenal released a statement regarding the incident.
      The club said: “We are aware of an incident that took place during our match against Manchester United on Sunday.
      “The Metropolitan Police is conducting an investigation into the matter and we are fully co-operating with their inquiries.”
      Manchester United did not wish to comment. Sky Sports confirmed: “Micah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.”
      The Met said: “Police are investigating an incident at Emirates Stadium on Sunday September 3, during which a man was assaulted.
      “On Monday September 4, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH).
      “The man has been taken into custody. Inquiries are ongoing.”
      What punishment could Scott Law face?
      Law could be slapped with a prison sentence or a hefty fine if he faced charges.
      Actual bodily harm is a criminal offence under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
      Read More on The Sun
      Assaults which are described as actual bodily harm cause injuries which are serious but don’t cause serious permanent damage to the victim.
      ABH carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or an unlimited fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. More

      Antony has strongly denied the allegations and vowed to clear his name.
      He posted on Sunday: “Out of respect for my fans, friends and family I feel obligated to speak publicly about the false accusations I have been a victim of.
      “I come to deny the accusations made and inform that I remain at the full disposal of the Brazilian authorities to clarify what is needed.
      “I trust the ongoing police investigations will reveal the truth about my innocence.”

      It came after Gabriela shared texts allegedly sent from the footballer saying “I hope you die”.
      Greater Manchester Police has confirmed it is aware of the accusations against the Brazilian international footballer.
      The force said in a statement: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of the allegations made and enquiries remain ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this report.
      “We will not be commenting any further at this time.”
      Most read in Football
      Police in Sao Paolo, Brazil opened inquiries in June when Cavallin filed a report alleging “domestic violence, threat and bodily injury”.
      The alleged victim is also reported to have filed a separate complaint to GMP.
      Antony posted an online response denying what he called “false” allegations while offering to co-operate with any investigations.
      He insisted the ongoing inquiries would “reveal the truth about my innocence”.
      Cavallin’s fresh claims were first published by Brazilian outlet UOL, one of the South American country’s largest news providers.
      She also shared two new images showing injuries on her head and fingers, claiming to be a result of Antony’s alleged attacks.
      She alleges her finger was cut to the bone and that the footballer attacked her while she was pregnant.
      In a new string of undated WhatsApp messages, the DJ and influencer, 23, claims Antony wished she was dead and told her “go f*** yourself” after she allegedly refused to reply to his messages and calls.
      “It’s over between me and you,” Antony reportedly wrote. “I hope you die and go f*** yourself.
      “You’re disgusting you even left WhatsApp and turned off your internet.”
      The texts go on to read that Antony, also 23, allegedly called Gabriela “deceitful” and urged her to pick up his phone calls.
      “You’ve been deceitful,” the Brazil winger reportedly wrote.
      “You did that with all the guys that you came across with in your life.
      “Pick up the phone if you’re woman enough.”
      A second screenshot from Gabriela’s mobile phone exposes the Man United star’s allegedly “unforgivable” actions.
      Antony allegedly replied: “I understand, just take care of yourselves okay? That’s all I ask of you.”
      Gabriela, who has nearly 500,000 Instagram followers, replied: “You tried scaring the life out of me speeding in your car and playing the steering wheel.
      “So don’t tell me to take care of myself now.”

      The shocking allegations come weeks after Gabriela was allegedly preparing to report Antony to police in the UK over domestic abuse allegations.
      She had previously filed a complaint against the player which is currently under ongoing investigation in his native Brazil.
      A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by respected sports news site ESPN.
      She says she dated Brazil World Cup ace Antony, also 23, on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      She claims the first assault came 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.
      Gabriela told cops they got back together soon after and she moved with him to Manchester after his transfer to the Red Devils.
      A second alleged attack came at Gabriela’s flat in January.
      The “jealous” star is alleged to have left her needing surgery to fix displaced silicone boob implants.
      Two more alleged assaults followed in England – one witnessed by her friend and Antony’s mother.
      Gabriela also said Antony threatened her after she returned to Brazil last month.
      She has requested “urgent protective measures” against Antony, according to Brazilian media.
      A spokesman for Manchester United said the club did not have any comment.
      The couple’s romance was first made public last year.
      In July, Gabriela shared on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage.
      The baby boy would have have been named Luca Mateo.
      Antony issued a lengthy denial and vowed to clear his name when the allegations were first made in June.
      He had written: “To friends, fans, and followers,
      “For your sake, after giving my statement at the police station where the investigation involving my name is being conducted, I would like to speak publicly for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.
      “I remained silent until this moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigative process, but during all these days my family and I suffered in silence.
      “Even though I was born and raised in a very underprivileged community, I had never been through a situation similar to this one, in which a false accusation of assault generated a prior and unfair public judgement by some people.

      “After the investigation is closed, my innocence will be proven, it being certain that justice will prevail and the damage initially caused to my image will remain in the past.
      “Thank you for the countless messages of support received during this very difficult time.” More

      Law, 42, was arrested and last night bailed.
      Witnesses claim Scott Law confronted Keane after Sunday’s Premier League match before launching a bungled headbutt which hit him in the shoulder.
      The impact apparently broke Law’s nose, with hardman Keane unhurt but “a bit shaken”.
      Witnesses claimed blood was left splattered on the ground of the West Stand of the Gunners’ Emirates Stadium.

      It is alleged married dad-of-two Law was fuming after Red Devils legend Keane cheered from the punditry studio when his former side seemed to go ahead through Alejandro Garnacho’s 88th minute strike — although it was quickly disallowed for offside.
      Pals of Law, a £2,500 hospitality season ticket holder, say Keane hurled abuse at fans below.
      It is claimed Keane was then set upon as he made his way pitchside for analysis of Arsenal’s 3-1 victory.
      Video shared on social media yesterday showed fellow Sky pundit Micah Richards separating Law from Keane.

      Keane was heard asking for stewards to call police before Law left the scene.
      Arsenal officials are understood to have worked out his identity from electronic ticket purchases and handed cops his name and address.
      Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of ABH.
      He is understood to have been bailed after spending a few hours in custody.
      A source told The Sun: “Keane was giving it to the Arsenal fans when United scored, and it wound some up. He seemed to be provoking them.
      “Scott went to the concourse, saw him and headbutted him but he only hit his shoulder and did more damage to himself.
      “He broke his nose and Keane didn’t seem to be hurt at all, just a bit shaken up.”
      Another fan who witnessed the incident said: “The fan seemingly tried to headbutt Roy Keane.
      “Micah Richards stepped in and pushed the fan back against the door. I heard the altercation and I was shocked to see the individuals involved.”
      Sources said former Republic of Ireland midfielder Keane and ex-Man City defender Richards, 35, were left “shaken” by the incident but continued with their matchday duties.
      The pair have struck up a firm friendship off the field since meeting through punditry and have appeared in several spin-off shows together.
      Sky Sports will review security for its pundits and presenters for the rest of the season.
      Keane, who clashed with former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira in the tunnel at Arsenal’s old stadium at Highbury in 2005, was back home with his family yesterday in Hale, Cheshire.
      He was pictured taking his two dogs for a walk but refused to comment, covering his face from the cameras with a jumper.
      Richards touched briefly on the incident yesterday while recording The Rest is Football podcast with Match of the Day’s Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.
      Lineker asked: “One of us had an interesting weekend, Micah, you were in the news?”
      Richards responded: “Oh my word. Gary, I’m not allowed to talk about it.”
      Lineker then clarified: “Because it’s under police investigation?”
      Richards confirmed that stating: “Exactly, but when I am allowed to talk about it, The Rest Is Football will get it first.”
      Shearer said: “I think the common opinion is don’t f*** with Big Meeks (Richards)!”

      Lineker wrapped up the discussion by clarifying: “It is not something we should trivialise because it is a serious matter and we will wait until the police investigation is done until we discuss that story further.”
      Arsenal said yesterday: “We are aware of an incident that took place during our match against Manchester United on Sunday.

      Manchester United did not wish to comment. Sky Sports confirmed: “Micah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.”

      “On Monday September 4, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH).
      “The man has been taken into custody. Inquiries are ongoing.”
      There was no answer at Law’s Essex home last night.
