Manchester United will not punish Cristiano Ronaldo after video footage emerged of him smashing an Everton fan’s phone after Saturday’s Premier League encounter at Goodison Park.
The Portuguese superstar saw his post-match actions inevitably go viral after he was caught on camera smacking a phone out of the hand of a 14-year-old, who was filming the United players leave the pitch. Emotions were clearly running high in the wake of United's 1-0 defeat which is likely to have a huge impact on the rest of their league season.
Both the FA and Merseyside Police are looking into the incident, with the latter in communication with United and Everton to determine whether any kind of criminal offence took place. The FA have told the Athletic : "We are aware of the incident and will be seeking observations on the matter from both clubs and the player involved."
