CHRIS WHEELER: Man United's statement on domestic abuse allegations against Antony was vague and...
Daily Mail Two months after the first allegations of domestic abuse were made against Antony by his ex-girlfriend, and two days after he was summarily stood down from international duty by Brazil, Manchester United broke their silence on Wednesday.
In a 53-word statement that said very little, the club 'acknowledged' the accusations of Gabriela Cavallin and insisted it is 'taking this matter seriously'. That's reassuring to know.
It was a vague statement lacking in clarity that sends a weak message. United are in a holding pattern again, just as they were for 18 months with Mason Greenwood. We should expect better of Britain's biggest football club.
If there is any sympathy for United, it's that no sooner have they stumbled through the moral maze of the Greenwood affair than the allegations against Antony have been dumped in their lap.
