Antony is currently not under consideration to play for Manchester United as he battles allegations of violence with police in the UK and Brazil conducting an investigation
Manchester United winger Antony is flying back to the UK to speak to police to address assault allegations made against him, which he has denied.
“I have agreed with Manchester United to take a period of absence while I address the allegations made against me," Antony said in a statement. “This was a mutual decision to avoid distraction to my teammates and unnecessary controversy for the club. “Players who have not participated in international matches are due back in training on Monday. However, it has been agreed with Antony that he will delay his return until further notice in order to address the allegations.
Antony has made 48 appearances for Man United since his arrival from Dutch giants Ajax for £88m last summer. He has scored eight goals and provided three assists in that time.
