Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has apologised after knocking the fan’s phone to the ground following his team’s defeat to Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Ronaldo took to Instagram and wrote:

“It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing,” Ronaldo said. “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 apologise 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.”
On the other hand, the defeat left United seventh in the Premier League standings and they face the prospect of missing out on qualification for next season’s Champions League as they are six points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
