Ronaldo was filmed allegedly knocking a mobile phone out of the hand of a supporter at Goodison Park following United’s 1-0 defeat to Everton. United later confirmed they were looking into the incident.

Manchester United might have discovered a contender to replace Harry Maguire as club captain
When the going has got tough for Manchester United this season, David de Gea has not been afraid to mince his words. The Spaniard, who is likely to scoop the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for a fifth time since joining the club in 2011 at the end of the season, has often acted as chief-spokesman in the midst of United storms this season.
He was the first to take to social media after the disappointing 1-0 defeat to Wolves in January and found himself in the same boat after the 4-1 drubbing to Manchester City last month. On Saturday, after United's 1-0 defeat to Everton, however, he did not require the power of social media to express his frustrations.
Instead, he used his post-match interview with BT Sport to make his feelings known on another calamitous performance. "I don't know what to say, to be honest," he said.
