Manchester United star Antony has broken his silence on the allegations of assault made against him by a former girlfriend.
The Brazilian winger is facing investigation in Manchester as well as Sao Paulo, with Gabriela Cavallin claiming she was attacked by the player on a few occasions dating back to last year.
The Red Devils have already released a statement confirming they are aware of the proceedings, while Antony was also dropped from the Brazil national side to deal with the matter.

"I am 100% sure that I have never touched a woman," Antony told Fofocalizando.
"And I will come with the proof. People will see the truth.
"I have never attacked and I never will attack. I’m sure I never committed physical violence. Verbal violence... I offended her [Cavallin] and she offended me too. It was on both sides. Physical violence, never.
"What I want most is to show the people that this is who I am. I want to achieve many things. I have many goals and many dreams.
"I want to show who I really am. I dream of returning to the national team and I want to show that Antony is innocent of all this."
When asked if he is concerned about he could be released by United, he added, "It’s something that doesn’t cross my mind.
"I know the truth and it will come out. I know that many are massacring me, but the truth always comes out. United is on top of the investigation, everything. They are following and will continue to follow."
