Antony has once again denied allegations that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend in his first interview amid the ongoing investigation into the domestic violence case.

Manchester United winger Antony is currently in the headlines over disturbing reports surrounding his personal life.

The 23-year-old winger is alleged to have assaulted his ex-girlfriend, model and Brazilian DJ, Gabriela Cavallin.

Pulse Sports recently reported that more details emerged of the alleged incident between the former couple, with the reported evidence suggesting that the case is far more serious than earlier projected.

The former Ajax star will also not be present when Brazil face Peru next week in the qualifiers as well.

Speaking on his absence from the national team, Antony revealed that he was with his mother when the news of his suspension broke.

 "It's [his future] something that doesn't cross my mind. I know the truth and it will come out.

"I know many are butchering me, but the truth always comes out. United are on top of the whole inquiry. They're following up and they're going to keep up."

"I dream of returning to the national team and I want to show that Antony is innocent of all this." he told Brazilian TV outlet Fofocalizando exclusively.

When asked about the current allegations of domestic assault levelled against him, Antony said:

"I don't support this ever," he said. "It's totally wrong, 100 per cent wrong. I have a mother, a sister, and I would never want this to happen to them.

"I'm 100 per cent sure I've never touched a woman, and I'll come up with the evidence. People will see the truth. I have never assaulted and I will never assault. I'm sure I've never committed physical violence.

"Anyone who has been with me since I was little, when I had nothing, knows my character and how much I sweated to get here.

"What I want most is to show the people that this is me. I want to achieve a lot of things.

"I have many goals and many dreams. I want to show who I really am. I dream of returning to the national team and I want to show that Antony is innocent of all this."

Following Antony’s recent interview, his ex-girlfriend and alleged victim Gabriela Cavallin has taken to social media to react while calling out the Man United star.

Cavallin replied to a post by a Brazilian outlet Segue a Cuami which reported Antony once again maintained that he is innocent of the accusations.

Cavallin commented: “He even took off the earring to show that he is the real peace dove in person, spare me.’

Before she added: 

“How good that I didn’t need to say that he is desperate, he showed it himself. Lol I won’t shut up! Why don’t you stop asking for silence in justice? Why don’t you hand over your phone voluntarily to retrieve the messages you deleted to me? Why doesn’t it count that you threw my cell phone on the floor trying to erase the evidence against you? Why doesn’t he say he tried to contact my driver to convince him to lie against me? Why didn’t you say that with the help of your family and friends, you said I wasn’t going to leave your house with my phone? Why didn’t you tell me that you were afraid (after you beat me) that i’d expose a print of you talking badly about your teammates? Calling you ex a ‘nightmare”? That handsome guy and that white shirt don’t cheat anyone else”

Manchester United have insisted they are taking the allegations against Antony "seriously" - and said they will not comment further at this stage.

However, there remains growing pressure to drop him from the Red Devils squad amid the ongoing investigation.
