Antony Returns To Manchester United After His ‘Period Of Absence’
September 30, 2023
Even by Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag’s often brisk responses, his answer to a question about the return of attacker Antony to first-team training was brief.
“We make the statement, so I refer to the statement; everything has been made clear in the statement,” he told reporters in his staccato Dutch accent.
Ten Hag added that he didn’t think multiple allegations of domestic abuse Antony denies would be a “distraction” for the club. “We [will] focus on the games and he will as well,” he added.
At the beginning of September, the Brazilian website UOL reported serious accusations by Antony’s former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, which led to the Manchester United player being dropped by the national team.
