Cavallin’s lawyer claims United tried to conceal the alleged incident by calling a doctor to treat her so that she would not attend hospital
Manchester United have strenuously denied explosive claims that the club tried to cover up allegations that their £85 million winger Antony attacked a former girlfriend.
Gabriella Cavallin, a DJ and influencer, has made the claims in relation to an alleged attack on her by Antony at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Manchester on January 15, the day after United beat Manchester City 2-1 at Old Trafford.
In a legal request by Cavallin’s lawyer Daniel Bialski to Sao Paulo Civic Police, it is claimed United tried to “hush up” the alleged attack by using a club employee to arrange for a private doctor to treat the woman instead of Cavallin going to hospital where she may have been questioned about the alleged incident.
The request filed by Cavallin’s legal team has alleged that Antony, “in one of his violent bouts of jealousy”, headbutted the woman, causing a cut on her head, and that the alleged attack led to one of her breast implants being damaged for which she later required surgery.
