Manchester United striker Anthony Mathias has been in hiding for nearly a month after being accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin. The 23-year-old striker has been staying in his home country of Brazil recently, and according to British newspaper The Sun, Anthony showed up at São Paulo airport recently, and will be flown to Spain before returning to Manchester, England, to be questioned by the police.
Gabriela claimed to have been beaten by Anthony on several occasions, including one in a Manchester hotel in January this year, which came to the attention of British police. After the incident came to light, Anthony was in Brazil and United asked him to delay his return to the team, but he has not been in contact with the police. The source said that Anthony believes that he is innocent and is not afraid to cooperate with the police investigation: "Anthony is so determined that he has done nothing wrong and wants to sit down and be questioned by the police, he has nothing to hide, he can give any information to the police, including the content of his cell phone, he wants to solve the incident as soon as possible, so that the soccer career can be put back on the right track.
