The Brazilian is Manchester United’s best winger, but he may have to wait a while before playing for the club
English Premier League side Manchester United has granted leave to Brazilian winger Anthony, who has been accused of assault, Soccer reported.
Anthony was accused of assault by a woman. However, he denied all allegations. However, Brazil and Manchester United are handling this issue carefully.
The 23-year-old was left out of the Brazil squad during the international break. And in fact, he was supposed to resume training with the club from Monday. However, due to his off-field issues, he will have to wait a while before he can play again.
Manchester United have announced that Anthony has been placed on leave. However, Sky Sports reports that he will be paid his full salary during his absence.
A club statement said: “Manchester United are aware of the allegations against Anthony. The players, who did not take part in any international matches, are due to return to training on Monday. However, they have not returned home until further notice to clarify the allegations. I agreed with Anthony that it would be postponed.
“As an association, we condemn acts of violence and abuse.” We recognize the importance of protecting everyone involved in this situation and that these allegations constitute abuse. We recognize the impact it has on victims. ”
In Anthony’s absence, Facundo Pellistri and Jadon Sancho will spend more time on the pitch. If they don’t complete their mission and Anthony’s case isn’t solved soon, things could turn dangerous in January.
