Manchester United winger Antony has flown back to the UK to face the police over allegations of abuse and violence against women made against him.<\/p>\n

Antony has agreed to hand over his phone to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) to aid their investigation into the complaints made by the footballer\u2019s ex-partner Gabriela Cavallin.<\/p>\n

Cavallin was in a relationship with Antony for two years and submitted allegations of \u201cphysical and psychological violence\u201d by the Brazilian star to both GMP and S\u00e3o Paulo police earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Further assault allegations followed from Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana, with Lana\u2019s complaints relating to a meeting between the pair in Manchester. Antony has denied all the allegations in an interview on Brazilian TV.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old flew back to England on Tuesday from Brazil, where he was voluntarily interviewed by police in June and they have confirmed they don\u2019t need any more information from him. He has now agreed to voluntarily meet with GMP. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Antony agreed to take a \u201cperiod of absence\u201d from Manchester United on full pay to address the allegations, meaning he would not play or train with the club until further notice. Despite returning to the UK, he will still not be considered for selection<\/p>\n

At the time, a club statement read: \u201cManchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony. It has been agreed with Antony that he will delay his return until further notice in order to address the allegations. As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was accompanied by a statement from Antony himself, stating: \u201cI have agreed with Manchester United to take a period of absence while I address the allegations made against me. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a mutual decision to avoid distraction to my teammates and unnecessary controversy for the club. I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of, and I will fully cooperate with the police to help them reach the truth. I look forward to returning to play as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
