Manchester United winger Antony has been accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend while pregnant, headbutting her and cutting her hand to the bone.

In interview with Brazilian website UOL published on Monday - which includes photographs and screenshots of messages - influencer and DJ Gabriela Cavallin claimed that the United and Brazil player had attacked her on various occasions between June 2022 and May 2023. In the last such instance, she said the footballer threw a glass at her, and in trying to defend herself she cut her finger to the bone.

Cavallin told UOL she was first attacked by Antony on June 1 2022, while she was pregnant and on holiday in Brazil. She claimed Antony put her in a car, attacked her and threatened to throw her from the moving vehicle at speed.

"He said that if I didn't stay with him, I wouldn't stay with anyone. I told him that I was pregnant, that he was scaring me, making my heart race. I was shaking with fear," Cavallin told UOL, adding that she went to hospital the next day. She lost the baby after roughly 16 weeks of pregnancy, according to the report.

The UOL report also gave details of an incident on January 15, 2023. The website said she told a court that Antony had headbutted her and punched her, dislocating a breast implant.

"I don't remember exactly who the fight was about, but it was someone I had been with years ago. He punched me in the chest and my silicone turned over," Cavallin said. "And then I came to Brazil for surgery. I had to change the prosthesis. He said 'I didn't mean to hurt you, it was accidental, it wasn't a punch, I just pushed you, I just held you against the wall'."
