Cristiano Ronaldo is fighting the FA’s improper conduct charge for allegedly knocking a mobile phone out of a fan’s hand at Everton.
The Manchester United star was filmed appearing to slap the phone out of the hand of an Everton supporter as he made his way back to the dressing room after the Reds’ defeat at Goodison Park in April. Ronaldo was cautioned by the police over the incident and apologised to the young fan immediately after the incident on April 9.
The FA charged with him breaching rule E3, which relates to improper or violent conduct. The Portugal legend had until Monday to respond to the FA charge and United boss Erik ten Hag says he will contest it.
