Manchester United vow to support Cristiano Ronaldo following FA charge
Manchester United have said they will support Cristiano Ronaldo after he was charged with “improper and/or violent” conduct by the Football Association over an incident at Everton last season.
Video footage showed Ronaldo appearing to knock a fan’s mobile phone to the ground after United’s 1-0 defeat on 9 April, for which the Portuguese was cautioned by Merseyside police. The FA said: “It is alleged that the forward’s conduct after the final whistle was improper and/or violent.”
United said in response: “We note the FA announcement in relation to Cristiano Ronaldo. We will be supporting the player in response to the charge.”
