Manchester United winger Antony has been accused of domestic abuse by a former partner, according to Brazilian media.

The Brazilian’s ex girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin has reported him to the police for ‘domestic violence, threat and bodily injury’, according to Globo Esporte.

Cavallin has claimed she was assaulted by Antony on the 20th of May, and her report is said to include ‘photos of abrasions and threatening messages’ from the former Ajax man.

It remains to be seen what the police will conclude from the findings, while there has yet to be any official comment made by Man Utd or the player.

Gareth Southgate has warned Jack Grealish over his treble celebrations.

The former Aston Villa skipper recently lifted the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League with Manchester City – only the second time the country has seen a domestic treble achieved; equalling Manchester United’s record-breaking 1998-99 season.

And obviously delighted with his team’s achievements, Grealish quickly became the face of the Cityzens’ celebrations. Seen drinking copious amounts of alcohol and partying long into the night, Grealish has clearly loved every minute of the celebrations that inevitably followed his team’s treble win.

However, now back with England ahead of Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta, Grealish, along with his other treble-winning teammates (Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, John Stones and Kalvin Phillips), have been warned by Southgate that off-field celebrations should only go so far.

“There is a line,” Southgate told reporters.
