Cristiano Ronaldo banned and fined after Manchester United mobile phone incident

Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a two-game suspension and fined £50,000 by the Football Association for knocking a fan’s mobile phone to the ground last season.

The 37-year-old, who saw his Manchester United contract terminated this week, has been charged with ‘improper and/or violent’ conduct by the FA following the incident at Everton last April.

Ronaldo subsequently apologised on social media and accepted a police caution after he smashed a young fan's phone as he walked off the pitch at Goodison Park.
