‘I don’t like him’ – Ex-Liverpool star slams Ronaldo over Man Utd incident

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique says he doesn’t “like” Cristiano Ronaldo after the Man Utd star appeared to smash a phone out of a young Everton fan’s hand on Saturday.

The Red Devils fell to a 1-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park in another blow to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Man Utd are now six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with seven Premier League matches to play this season.

And Ronaldo couldn’t hide his frustration after the match as footage emerged that appeared to show him knocking a mobile phone out of a young supporter’s hand at Everton.

The Man Utd striker later issued an apology for his “outburst” via social media and invited the supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford “as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship”.

And, after seeing the footage of the incident, former Liverpool defender Enrique insists that he has never really liked Ronaldo he believes he is a “God”.

“I always said it. Don’t like him he believes [he] is God and can do whatever he wants,” Enrique posted on Twitter.

“That doesn’t take [away] that [he] is been one of the best players in the history of football but as a person [I] don’t like him.”
