JAKARTA Even though he has to face allegations of harassment, Antony, does not worry about his future at Manchester United. He believes his fate will not end like Mason Greenwood who was wasted from Old Trafford even though he was eventually free from allegations of sexual violence.
Allegations of harassment by Antony were made by his ex-partner, Gabriela Cavallin, who said the 23-year-old player often committed violence during their relationship. Not enough, two other women also made allegations of harassment by Antony.
On these charges, the Sao Paulo and Greater Manchester civilian police are conducting an investigation. This is because the break-up was allegedly carried out in Brazil and Manchester. Antony himself did not remain silent. The former Ajax Amsterdam player firmly denied the allegations.
"That (the future at Manchester United) is something that doesn't cross my mind. I know the truth and it will be revealed. I know a lot of people are slaughtering me, but the truth is always revealed," Antony told SBT as reported by sportsmole.
"United also conducts investigations. They follow up and will continue to follow suit," he added.
The management of the Red Devils has acknowledged the situation experienced by Antony, but decided not to suspend Antony, different when the same case hit Greenwood. But on the other hand, Brazil chose to cross out his name from the squad against the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Antony admitted that it was actually difficult to accept the decision from CBF. Moreover, he felt that the accusations that had been in the spotlight of the media were not true.
I was here with my mother when I heard I was going to be crossed out. It's not easy. We are working to make dreams come true, and wearing national team uniforms is a dream I face every day.

"I've never supported this (in-house violence). It's totally wrong. I have a mother, sister, and I don't want this to happen to them. I'm sure 100 percent have never touched a woman, and I'll give you proof. People will see the truth. I've never attacked and I'll never attack. I'm sure I've never committed physical violence," said Antony.
He also claimed that Cavallin had faked WhatsApp's message, and denied Cavallin's most serious claims to him, which was related to an alleged incident at a hotel in Manchester in January.
Antony, who said he had proof of confidence that he would be free from all accusations made by Cavallin. Therefore, he remains optimistic about his future at Manchester United and will not be eliminated like Mason Greenwood.
