Manchester United have confirmed that Antony is returning to training with the club.

The 23-year-old had been on a leave of absence, as he is currently being accused of abuse by two separate women, including his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin.

Both the Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo police are looking into the alleged incidents, but he has not been arrested or charged, with the player maintaining his innocence.

The investigations are ongoing, but he is now returning to training with the Red Devils, starting on Saturday, a statement from the club confirmed on Friday afternoon.

"Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has co-operated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so," said the 20-time English champions.

"As Antony's employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.

"As a club, we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse."

Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag was then asked about the situation during his press conference on Friday.

"We make the statement so I refer to the statement, everything has been made clear in the statement. No, I don't think it's a distinction. We will focus on the games. He will do as well," the Dutchman told reporters.

"On Saturday, he will be back in training, so tomorrow. I have to see, but I think, yeah [he's fit]."

One of the three women to initially accuse him of assault has allegedly dropped her complaint, but there remain accusations from two women.

Antony, who arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax last summer, has admitted that his relationship with his former girlfriend Cavallin was "tumultuous" but has denied that he ever physically assaulted her.

The South American has not played for Man United since the defeat to Arsenal on September 3, and he is not expected to be in the squad against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

Antony has represented the Red Devils on 48 occasions, scoring eight goals and registering three assists. body check tags ::
