Today, while the investigation is still ongoing, Manchester United announces that its attacking midfielder will return to the field.
“Since the first allegations in June, Antony has cooperated with police investigations in Brazil and the United Kingdom, and he continues to do so. As Antony’s employer, Manchester United decided that he would return to training at Carrington and be available for selection for the duration of the police investigation. This decision will be reviewed depending on the evolution of the case. As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognize the importance of protecting everyone involved in this situation, as well as the impact of these allegations on survivors of abuse.”indicates the press release.
