During the international break, Antony took advantage of his time off from the international matches to spend leisure time with his girlfriend, Rosilene Silva, following his stellar performance in assisting Manchester United in defeating Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 English League Cup.
Antony had previously been called up for two World Cup 2026 qualifying matches with the Brazilian national team in September of last year. However, the Manchester United star was subsequently dropped from the squad due to involvement in a scandal related to assaulting his former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin.
Since the scandal involving his ex-girlfriend erupted, Antony has not been called up for national team duty. Due to this scandal and a decline in performance, Antony has not been included in the squad for Brazil’s friendly matches against England and Spain on March 24th and 27th, respectively.
This marks the first national team gathering under the tenure of the new coach, Dorival Junior. Besides Antony’s involvement in off-field controversies, his performance during recent times has failed to persuade Coach Dorival to offer him opportunities.
During the international break, Antony spent time with his pregnant girlfriend, Rosilene Silva. The Brazilian beauty is expecting her second child with Antony. Five years ago, Rosilene Silva gave birth to their son, Lorenzo, who is now a Brazil international.
According to SunSport, Antony and his partner enjoyed dining and leisure activities in Cheshire, Manchester, yesterday. Antony appeared jovial alongside his girlfriend two days after scoring his second goal of the season for the Red Devils.
In Manchester United’s 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals last weekend, Antony scored the equalizing goal to make it 2-2 for the Red Devils. This was Antony’s second goal for Manchester United in the FA Cup this season. It was a rare game in which Antony performed well when given the opportunity.
While he has scored twice in the FA Cup, Antony has yet to find the net in the Premier League (neither scoring nor assisting). Manchester United is considering selling the Brazilian international in the summer transfer window if Antony fails to demonstrate outstanding form for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.
