Manchester United’s Antony Sale at Risk Due to Police Investigations
Manchester United’s star player, Antony, is facing potential obstacles in his potential sale this summer due to ongoing police investigations surrounding assault allegations. The £85 million flop has been accused by his former partner, Gabriela Cavallin, of physically attacking her on multiple occasions both in Manchester and Brazil.
Despite Antony strongly denying the accusations and asserting his innocence, the investigations by Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo Civil Police could complicate any move away from the club. The Red Devils had initially placed Antony on an indefinite leave of absence when the reports surfaced but later welcomed him back while the inquiries were ongoing.
However, with Antony struggling on the pitch this season, failing to score a single goal or assist in 22 Premier League appearances, United are now reportedly open to selling him at the end of the season. The Telegraph has highlighted that the ongoing police probes may hinder any potential exit unless the case is dropped or Antony is cleared of any wrongdoing.
While Antony and his representatives remain confident that he will be vindicated in the investigations, the uncertainty surrounding the situation could impact his future at Manchester United. The club’s decision to offload him comes after criticism from football legend Alan Shearer during a recent FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest, where Shearer pointed out Antony’s lackluster performance on the pitch.
As speculation continues to swirl around Antony’s future, it remains to be seen how the police investigations will impact his potential sale and whether he will be able to turn around his form on the field. For now, Manchester United are keeping a close eye on developments as they navigate through this challenging situation.
