Manchester United officially announced on Friday that 100 million euro Mr. Anthony will return to Carrington for training and a choice for manager Ten Hag. However, the 23-year-old Brazil international will certainly not be competing in United's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Anthony was questioned by Greater Manchester police for five hours on Thursday, with the Times saying the Brazilian vehemently denied the allegations and handed over his mobile phone for police officers to investigate, and his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Kavalin will also travel to the UK next week to communicate with police.

The next day, Manchester United senior management held an important meeting with the women's team before agreeing to return Anthony to the training ground. The Daily Mail said the club's football director John Murtaugh and chief communications officer Eli Norman held a team meeting to explain the club's rationale.

Norman, who came to United last year after four years in F1, spoke at the conference about the background and facts of Anthony's case and the lessons learned from dealing with Mason Greenwood.

Meanwhile, the two giants of Manchester United said they could request a one-on-one meeting if the women's footballers wanted further discussions. But Mark Skinner and his Manchester United Women's team have not raised any questions, remaining positive about the club's explanation.

Norman's arrangement impressed the women's team and played a crucial role in Anthony's return to Manchester United training. Manchester United said in a statement that Anthony would remain under review pending further progress in the case.

"Anthony has cooperated with investigations by Brazilian and British police since he was first charged in June, and he will continue to do so," the official announcement reads. As Anthony's employer, Manchester United have decided to allow him to return to training at Carrington and be available to play while the police investigation. We will continue to review the matter until the case develops further. As a club, we condemn violence and abuse. We recognize the importance of protecting all those involved in this situation and acknowledge the impact of these allegations on the victims."

Speaking at Manchester United's pre-match press conference with Crystal Palace on Friday, Ten Hag said Anthony's turmoil would not affect the team. "We made a statement, so my attitude is in line with the club statement, which makes everything clear. No, I don't think it's going to be a distraction, we're going to focus on the game and he'll do the same. On Saturday, he will return to training, which is tomorrow. I have to look at the training, but I think he's healthy."

The 23-year-old's last appearance was in United's visit to Arsenal on 3 September, after which he was also dropped by Brazil. Now, Ten Hag will be watching Anthony's form in training to determine if he is included in the squad next Tuesday's Champions League home game against Galatasaray. The 53-year-old Dutchman added: "I talked to him, but it wasn't enough to determine his condition, such as what his mental state was. I'm not sure yet, first he has to come back to training."

At the same press conference, Ten Hag was also asked about another Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, and the Reds boss looked visibly annoyed. The British media's questions about Sancho seemed to infuriate Ten Hag, who declined to give an answer. Asked about Sancho's chances of revining his Manchester United career, Ten Hag shook his head and said: "A lot of you ask me this question a lot and I've said everything. I have already said all aspects of Sancho's affairs, and there is no need to add about it."

Ten Hag stressed that Sancho's situation is very different from Anthony's. "Those two things have nothing to do with each other." The Manchester United boss said: "One is the internal problems of the team, the other is the off-field affairs of the players."

The other party then asked, how long is Sancho's punishment likely to last? "I said it, I've said it all." Ten Hag reiterated. The British media asserts that the chances of Sancho and Ten Hag getting back together at Manchester United are arguably slim.
