Despite being a married man and father, Manchester United’s Antony has been accused of assaulting his alleged mistress – Brazilian model Gabriella Cavallin.

The English Premier League player – full name Antony Matheus dos Santos – made headlines this week after the woman filed a police report on allegations of assault, bodily injury, and threatening behaviour.

Antony – who is married to childhood sweetheart Rosilene Xavier – reportedly began seeing the woman last year.

MISTRESS ACCUSES ANTONY OF ASSAULT

According to Metro, Cavallin has documented several incidents of Antony’s alleged domestic abuse.

They include:

  • Assault at a nightclub in Sao Paulo in July 2022
  • An attack in January 2023 which required her to have surgery on an injury
  • Several attacks in England, including Antony allegedly threatening to kill her on 20 May, the same day Manchester United beat Bournemouth 1-0 in the Premier League

Cavallin – who has produced threatening messages and photo evidence of her alleged assault – has claimed to have suffered a miscarriage of Antony’s unborn baby in June 2022.

Meanwhile, Antony and wife Rosilene share a son Lorenzo, who was born in 2019. The couple began dating while the soccer star played for the Sao Paulo youth academy during 2010 -1019.

Rosilene has since deleted all her pics of Antony off her Insatgram account.

WHEN DID BRAZIL PLAYER JOIN MANCHESTER UNITED?

According to reports, Antony swapped his team of Ajax for Manchester United in an £85 million deal in September 2022.

He said in a press statement: “This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world. I’m thankful to everyone who has believed in me, especially my family, and all my coaches and team-mates, because I could not have got here without them”.

The team reportedly bought the 23-year-old to replace Mason Greenwood, who is also embroiled in allegations of domestic abuse against his partner.

Greenwood is currently suspended from the team.

Neither Manchester United nor Antony has yet to respond to the allegations.
