Ronaldo smashes Everton fan’s phone after Man Utd loss

Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, left the pitch fuming after losing to Premier League strugglers, Everton, on Saturday.

Following Ronaldo’s frustration, the Portuguese smashed the phone of Everton’s supporter as he was entering the tunnel.

Footage taken by @EvertonHub, showed Ronaldo lowering his right hand towards the ground before what appears to be a phone colliding with and bouncing up off the surface, as he exited the pitch following the 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.

Manchester United confirmed the footage, which is being widely shared and discussed on social media following the game.

The club said on Saturday afternoon they were looking into the incident.

However, Ronaldo has taken to Instagram to apologise for his ‘outburst’ after Man Utd’s defeat to Everton.

The superstar further invited the fan to Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.

He wrote: “It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing.

“Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.

“I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.”

It was a bad day on the pitch for Ronaldo and Manchester United as Anthony Gordon’s first-half goal gave the hosts three points.

United, who have won just once in five Premier League games, now look unlikely to qualify for the Champions League next season.
