Reports of the alleged abuse incidents first surfaced in June, when the player's ex-partner claimed that she been assaulted by the 23-year-old on several occasions, including while they were on holiday in Brazil together in 2022 and at a Manchester hotel this year.
The woman alleges that she had to see a doctor after she was headbutted by Antony, while another incident reportedly saw him damage her breast implant after she was brutally punched in the chest by the former Ajax Amsterdam star.
The United attacker has since denied any wrongdoing, while both Brazilian and English authorities continue to look into the matter.
