On a sunny Sunday (10th), Manchester United officially released the news that shocked the football world: Anthony Maffeos, who is suspected of a domestic violence incident, will be temporarily disqualified from playing, with a specific return date to be announced. The talented Brazilian star showed his calmness and determination in his subsequent statement, saying he accepted the arrangement and vowed to clear his name by countering the false allegations with a screenshot of a private conversation with his ex-girlfriend, Cavallin, which was made public via social media Instagram on Monday (11).
Faced with United's official statement, Anthony quickly responded: During the time I was facing charges, I agreed to temporarily leave the team, a decision we mutually agreed upon in order to keep my teammates from being distracted and to avoid the club becoming involved in unnecessary controversy. I firmly believe in my innocence and will fully cooperate with the police investigation in order to find out the truth as soon as possible and return to the field.
