- Player appeared to have altercation with a young Everton fan
- Ronaldo has apologised for his ‘emotions’ on social media
Merseyside Police have launched an investigation following an incident in which the Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, appeared to knock a mobile phone out of a supporter’s hand at Everton.
The police are appealing for witnesses after footage on social media emerged which appeared to show the Portuguese smashing a phone out of a Toffees fan’s hand and onto the ground as he limped off towards the tunnel following United’s 1-0 loss at Goodison Park. Anthony Gordon’s deflected shot had handed Everton a priceless victory in their bid to avoid relegation while at the same time denting United’s hopes of a top-four finish.
