MANCHESTER United player Antony has insisted he does not fear for his future at the club despite allegations of shocking abuse from his ex Gabriela Cavallin. <\/p>\n
The \u00a385million winger spoke to Brazilian network SBT as he faces accusations from the 23-year-old and two other women.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Manchester United faces growing pressure to drop him from the squad but is so far standing by his side. <\/p>\n
But Antony said he has no fears about his future with the club, who currently sit 11th in the Premier League. <\/p>\n
He said: "It\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t cross my mind."<\/p>\n
Gabriela has alleged the Brazilian, also 23, attacked her while she was pregnant and left her fearing for her life while they were in an on-off relationship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She has shared pictures showing her bloodied clothes, sliced fingers and a head wound which were allegedly the aftermath of his actions.<\/p>\n
Antony has always strongly denied the accusations against him and vowed to clear his name. <\/p>\n
He is the subject of police investigations in Brazil and the UK over the claims.<\/p>\n
The player has already been axed by the Brazil national team.<\/p>\n
