Manchester United’s player, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been charged by the Football Association in England after he was filmed smashing the mobile phone of a young Everton fan at Goodison Park last season.
Ronaldo in the video clip smashed the phone to the floor as he angrily walked down the tunnel at Goodison on April 9, 2022, after Everton had beaten United 1-0.
Merseyside Police gave Ronaldo conditional caution after speaking to officers about the incident, but the League’s governing body has now charged the superstar.
The Portuguese has been charged with ‘improper and/or violent’ conduct and will now have to respond to the FA.
