In early September, Manchester United announced that an investigation is underway regarding Antony following allegations of domestic violence made by his ex-girlfriend. The attacker, who has a history with Ajax, was removed from the Brazil national team selection and was given the opportunity by Manchester United to address the matter in Brazil. He denied the accusations.
On Thursday, it was reported through English media that Antony had returned to England, and on Friday, Manchester United officially confirmed that the Brazilian is rejoining the team. 'Since the allegations were first raised in June, Antony has cooperated with investigations in both Brazil and England, and he continues to do so. As Antony's employer, Manchester United has decided that he will be available while the police investigation is ongoing. The case will be closely monitored throughout the remainder of the investigation.'
Manchester United does not provide any information on when Antony can return to action for Ten Hag. The Athletic reports that the right winger will not train on Friday and will not be in the match squad for the league game against Crystal Palace.
