One of the three women who has accused Manchester United winger Antony of assault has claimed she was attacked when visiting him on a business trip, and was told by a member of his entourage to keep quiet about the alleged incident so as not to damage his reputation before the 2022 World Cup. Antony, who strongly denies all allegations, is under investigation by Brazilian authorities and Greater Manchester Police after his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin alleged he assaulted her on separate occasions between June 2022 and May this year. Two further women — Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana...

Lana, 33, gave an interview to Brazilian broadcaster Record TV on Sunday in which she said she felt she had been “tricked” by Antony after proposing she worked for him to manage his finances.

Lana claimed that after being informed about the incident, Reginaldo Teixeira, a member of Antony’s entourage, advised her to keep it to herself so as not to harm Antony’s career. She said he later told her to block journalists who messaged her on social media. “The next day, I already wanted to go home. I thought, ‘I don’t deserve this. I don’t accept this situation. Did I study for nearly eight years of my life for this? No. And I left’.She added: “Our relationship changed because I felt used. I went there to do business, professionally, and I saw that that wasn’t what he wanted.”When asked if he had questioned why she was leaving, Lana continued: “He asked. And I didn’t want to say. I just said that I wasn’t feeling good and was missing home.

When asked whether he had told Lana to block journalists, Teixeira added: “She messaged me to say that lots of journalists were calling her. I told her, ‘Ingrid, it’s best if you don’t get involved in that. If you speak, you will have to tell the truth. And the truth doesn’t sell’.” Cavallin further alleges she was head-butted and punched by Antony in a Manchester hotel room on January 15, 2023, which resulted in a damaged breast implant. She claims she also sustained a finger injury during an incident on May 8 2023.
