A Brazilian police inquiry into domestic abuse allegations involving Manchester United forward Antony has concluded without resulting in any formal charges.

Despite this, prosecutors in Brazil may still review the claims further.

Antony, who is 24 years old and has consistently denied any wrongdoing, is also under investigation by Greater Manchester Police in the UK.

The allegations surfaced in September of the previous year and involve accusations made by three women.

At this time, Antony has not been detained or charged by authorities in either Brazil or the UK. He continues to refute all allegations made against him.

A statement from the player's lawyers said: "The defence of player Antony Matheus dos Santos, in light of the news published by the press this Tuesday (20 August 2024), hereby confirms that the police investigation opened at the fifth Women's Defense Precinct of Sao Paulo, of the Civil Police, was closed without any police indictment.

"The defence has always believed that the investigations, that run under confidentiality, would prove Antony's innocence."

According to BBC News Brasil, although the police investigation into Manchester United winger Antony has ended without charges, the case remains active as it is still under review by the prosecutor's office.

This means prosecutors could choose to launch a separate investigation if they see fit.

Antony became Manchester United’s second-most expensive acquisition in September 2022, transferring from Ajax for £82 million.

The allegations against him first emerged during the September 2023 international break when Brazilian media outlet UOL reported claims made by his ex-girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, which Antony has denied.

Following this, two more women, Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana, came forward with separate allegations of assault dating back to 2022, which Antony has also refuted.

One of these alleged incidents reportedly took place at a hotel in Manchester, prompting Greater Manchester Police to become involved.

In response to the serious nature of the allegations, Manchester United granted Antony a leave of absence with full pay on 10 September to address the situation.

He returned to training on 29 September after voluntarily cooperating with Greater Manchester Police and resumed playing in early October.

Despite his return to the pitch, Antony's club manager, Erik ten Hag, acknowledged in January that the ongoing matter had impacted the player’s performance.
