Gabriela Cavallin, Antony's alleged assault victim, has pleaded with Manchester United to suspend or sack the 23-year-old winger.
Mukangula, having led the Leopards as captain from March to June 2023, experienced the highs and lows of football captaincy.

RUGBY Kabeberi Sevens: No margin for error for Kabras Sugar & KCB with circuit title at stake

Mukangula's football journey has been nothing short of transformative. Joining AFC in 2018 from Thika United, he started off as a promising striker. Yet, as the seasons progressed and under the tactical eyes of different managers, Mukangula found himself evolving into a midfielder.
With the grace of a first touch that would leave defenders second-guessing and the ability to send killer passes slicing through defensive lines, Mukangula made sure his presence was always felt.

FKFPL Muyoti's winning formula as City Stars' prepare for Gor Mahia clash
Muyoti has revealed the two things his side are working on to become unstoppable.
His prowess was particularly noted when former coach, Patrick Aussems, seeing the latent talent in Mukangula, repositioned him from a defensive midfielder to an attacking one.
The shift was evidently successful as the midfielder often dazzled fans with his on-pitch magic and one could argue that everything he touched turned into football gold.
