Cristiano Ronaldo apology slammed as lad’s mum hits out at ‘terrible’ Man Utd response

A 14-year-old boy who was allegedly "assaulted" by Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday afternoon has rejected an invitation to visit Old Trafford.

The veteran forward, 37, invited Jake Harding to watch a Manchester United game after appearing to smash a phone out of his hand following Everton's 1-0 victory against the Red Devils. The incident happened when Jake was filming Ronaldo and his team-mates making their way down the tunnel at Goodison Park.

Jake's mum Sarah has told the Liverpool ECHO that her son was left with a bruise on his hand after the incident. Ronaldo made a public apology to the young Everton supporter, who has autism and dyspraxia, yet Sarah was not impressed with it.
