Manchester United chief exec Richard Arnold has explained their management of Antony.
The Brazil international is back on the pitch for United after investigations in Brazil and England over claims of domestic abuse.
Arnold was speaking at the United fans forum, with minutes of the meeting recently published.
On Antony, he said: Regarding Antony, we took a swift decision to grant him a leave of absence to address the allegations against him. He arrived back in Manchester two weeks ago to voluntarily meet Greater Manchester Police, just as he had done with Brazilian police in Sao Paulo.
"In the absence so far of any charges against him in the UK or Brazil, we decided the right course of action was to allow Antony to resume training and playing while the police investigation proceeds.
"We will keep this stance under review pending further developments in the case."
