Man Utd ready to sell £86million flop Antony in summer transfer – but police probe risks scuppering deal

MANCHESTER UNITED are open to selling flop winger Antony this summer, according to reports.

But ongoing police investigations into alleged assaults on his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin could complicate a potential exit.

Gabriela claims that she was assaulted by the footballer between June 2022 and May 2023 - in both Brazil and the UK.

Her allegations are under investigation by Sao Paulo Civil Police and Greater Manchester Police.

Antony, 24, denies all allegations made against him.

The winger was given time off by Man Utd in September as he vowed to clear his name.

He has had a dreadful season, failing to score or assist in 22 Premier League appearances.

Antony has not started a Premier League game since December 30 and recently saw teenager Omari Forson picked ahead of him.

According to the , United are not desperate to sell Antony this summer, despite being open to letting him go.

That situation could change if Erik ten Hag is given the boot at the end of the season.

Ten Hag, 54, played a major role in Man Utd shelling out £86million on his former ajax winger.

The Dutchman recently said of Antony: "I backed him for a long time.

"I know his abilities and he has great abilities.

"When he plays like I know from the past he is unstoppable, no defender can stop him because he's one of the quickest players in the first 10 yards.

"When he plays that game he will perform. I'm sure he will do for the future, I'm sure he is resilient, he is a character and he will fight back and I back him.

"He now has to wait for his chance and once he is there he has to pick up."
