Manchester United’s Brazilian winger, Antony, has defended himself against allegations of domestic violence by his former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin. She claims Antony physically assaulted her in a Manchester hotel room after a game against Manchester City in January, resulting in injuries including a head and finger cut.

Gabriela Cavallin, an influential DJ with a significant online presence, accused Antony of threatening her during pregnancy and multiple attacks between June last year and May of this year. She reported these incidents to Sao Paulo Civil Police in June and filed a complaint with Greater Manchester Police, initiating an ongoing investigation by authorities.

Former Manchester United captain turned pundit Roy Keane was critical of the club’s situation after their 3-1 loss to Arsenal. Keane highlighted what he called “massive problems” within the team. He singled out the unexpected appearance of Jonny Evans, who is 35 years old, as a center-back. Despite acknowledging that Evans is a “good lad,” Keane expressed surprise at the situation.

In the Arsenal match, Manchester United’s defense was depleted due to injuries, leading to an unusual pairing of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans in central defense. Maguire’s potential exit from the club had been speculated, and Leicester City released Evans after their relegation.

Keane’s comments highlight Manchester United’s defensive woes and the lack of squad depth to handle injuries, causing concern among fans and pundits. The extensive injury list, including key players like Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw, has raised doubts about the club’s competitiveness. Keane’s remarks resonate with those worried about the club’s current state and challenges in a demanding season.
