Cristiano Ronaldo forced to watch Al-Nassr from stands as he gets first look at new team

Cristiano Ronaldo watched Al-Nassr's 2-0 victory over Al-Ta'ee from the stands as he serves a ban for an incident that occurred while he was still at Manchester United.

The 37-year-old was expected to finally don the yellow and blue shirt of his new side on Friday, but instead, the wait continues as he remains banned after slapping the hand of young Everton fan Jacob Harding as he stormed down the tunnel at Goodison Park, damaging the boy's phone in the process.

Harding's hand was also damaged and hurt by Ronaldo according to the young fan's mother, Sarah Kelly and after an investigation by the FA, he was fined £50,000 and handed a two-game ban on November 23 - just a day after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's contract was terminated by the Red Devils.
