Manchester United is in the midst of a new crisis, starring its striker Anthony, after he was excluded from the Brazil squad, due to his ex-girlfriend’s allegations of physical assault to the point of threatening her with death.
Brazilian press reports published Gabriela Cavallin’s accusations, which Anthony called Monday “false”.
The new facts come two weeks after the club dispensed with the services of its young striker, Mason Greenwood, despite the rape charges against him being dropped.
Brazil without Anthony
The Brazil national team is now preparing for its 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru, after Anthony, 23, was excluded from his squad due to the crisis.
“As a result of the facts that have come to light and need to be investigated, and in order to protect the alleged victim, the player and the Brazilian national team, the CBF has withdrawn him from the team,” the CBF said in a statement.
his girlfriend’s allegations
Cavalin is a DJ and social media influencer with nearly half a million followers on Instagram.
Anthony and Cavallin began dating in 2021, before moving in 2022 from Ajax Amsterdam to Manchester United.
Cavalin claimed, in allegations with photos and WhatsApp messages, that the Sao Paulo-born player attacked her for the first time in June last year, when she was carrying their baby and vacationing in Brazil.
She claimed that Anthony got angry after he saw her in a nightclub where he was also present, and “put her in the car and assaulted her repeatedly and threatened to throw her out of the car at high speed.”
“He said if I wasn’t with him, I wouldn’t be with anyone else. I was shaking with fear,” Cavalin said.
The second attack allegedly took place in Manchester on January 15, one day after United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
Cavalin said Anthony “punched her in the chest and left her in a hotel room needing medical attention.” She added, “He told me I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was an accident and it wasn’t a punch.” .
According to the allegations of Anthony’s friend, a third attack occurred on May 8, when she said that her boyfriend “tried to attack her face with a glass during an argument.”
Cavalin explained that “while she was trying to defend herself, she sustained a deep cut in the finger of her right hand, leaving the bone exposed.”
As she scrambled to book a flight back to Brazil, she wrote to her travel agent: “I need to get out of here before he kills me.”
The accusations, which were reported to police in Sao Paulo and Manchester, have sparked outrage in Brazil and Britain alike.

Anthony responds with a statement
“I can calmly say that I am innocent of the accusations that have been made.” “My relationship with Ms. Gabriela was turbulent with insults on both sides, but I did not commit any act of physical abuse.” She changed her story over and over again about the alleged attacks. “Therefore, I strongly deny these accusations and would like to make it clear that I remain ready to explain everything necessary to the Brazilian authorities.”
