Cristiano Ronaldo given police caution for bust up with Everton fan

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been cautioned by police after footage emerged of him appearing to smash a mobile phone out of an Everton fan's hand at a match last season.

The 37-year-old was interviewed by Merseyside police in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage following the incident at Goodison Park on April 9.

“We can confirm that a 37-year-old man voluntarily attended and was interviewed under caution in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage,” police said in a statement.

“The allegation relates to an incident following the Everton v Manchester United football match at Goodison Park on Saturday April 9.

“The matter has been dealt with by way of conditional caution. The matter has now concluded.”

Merseyside Police launched its investigation after a clip was circulated online of Ronaldo appearing to knock the supporter's mobile phone on to the ground as he limped towards the tunnel following United's 1-0 loss.
