Attacker Anthony He decided to return to England on Tuesday 26th. He is accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend Gabriella CavallinThe Brazilian has been away from Manchester United since September 10 due to his off-field issues. According to The Times, Al-Yami voluntarily agreed to meet with local police to testify about the case. According to the article, the 23-year-old will hand over his cell phone to the authorities to assist in the investigation. Before that, the athlete also spoke to the Brazilian police to obtain permission to return to the UK. The action against Anthony, who conducts his affairs in the European country, investigates four offences: harassment, false imprisonment, assault and grievous bodily injury. Penalties can range from a fine (in the case of harassment) to imprisonment of up to 26 years (serious bodily harm).

At the beginning of this month, Anthony was called up to defend the Brazilian national team in the first two rounds of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, against Bolivia and Peru. However, the striker was cut short after a UOL article showed printouts of conversations between the athlete and his former partner. In the dialogue, the player admits to attacking Gabriella and also makes threats. Furthermore, the report showed photos of the woman with cuts and bruises after being assaulted. Through Instagram, the attacker denied these accusations and confirmed that he had not committed any physical assault at all. He added: “From the beginning, I dealt with this matter seriously and with respect, and provided the necessary clarifications to the police authority. The investigation is subject to judicial confidentiality, and therefore I cannot publish its content. However, I can calmly say that the accusations are false, and that the evidence already presented and further evidence to be presented proves that I am innocent.”
