Cristiano Ronaldo was furious after Manchester United's defeat to Everton, having, in fact, taken a nasty tapper hit that left him with a "merit badge" of two holes in his leg.
His anger, however, reportedly manifested itself in an ugly act, for which he was heavily blamed on social media in response to a video that circulated as he was leaving towards the dressing room.
Specifically, CR7 is pictured forcefully throwing[/B] an object, which according to eyewitnesses is an Everton fan's mobile phone. The video was posted by the "EvertonHub" Twitter page and Manchester United are already investigating the incident, according to Sky Sports.
According to what was later revealed, the fan in question is a 14-year-old autistic child, and in statements made by his mother to the Liverpool Echo, the child understood what had happened when he returned home and noticed that his arm was bruised! He even posted photos of it on social media
Ronaldo: "It's never easy to manage emotions"
Ronaldo himself, however, apologised for the incident in an Instagram post and invited the young fan to a match at Old Trafford.
"It's never easy to manage emotions in difficult times like the one we're facing," he said.
"However, we must always respect, be patient and set an example for all youngsters who love the game. I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this fan to attend a match at Old Trafford as a sign of fair play and sportsmanship."
United[/B] made it known on Saturday afternoon that they were looking into the incident, while Merseyside Police said they were in contact with both clubs and investigations are ongoing.[/B] So it is possible that the Portuguese ace could also be called to answer to the courts.
