Mum slams Cristiano Ronaldo after claims star 'smashed' teenage son's mobile phone from his hand

A mum has hit out at Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo after he appeared to swipe a mobile phone out of her 14-year-old son's hand.

Ronaldo was filmed appearing to knock an object, thought to be a phone, out of a person's hand as he walked back to the dressing room following their chastening 1-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday. Manchester United said they were 'looking into' the incident.

He has since apologised. In a statement on Instagram, the Portuguese striker said: "I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship".
