The club granted the striker a leave of absence on 10 September after his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin accused him of violent behaviour and two other Brazilian women made similar allegations.

Anthony denied all allegations against him by all three women and returned to Manchester on Tuesday, where he had a five-hour meeting with police on Thursday. At the end of the meeting he was able to return home without any restrictions. He also provided evidence to support his denial of the allegations.

The club will keep the situation under review as long as the police investigation continues, MJ said in a statement.
