Manchester United 'looking into' Cristiano Ronaldo mobile phone incident after Everton defeat

Manchester United are said to be looking into an incident involving Cristiano Ronaldo following his side's defeat to Everton on Saturday.

Footage has emerged showing the 37-year-old leaving the pitch and heading towards the dressing room situated between the away fans and the Park End stand. Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure as he trudged off the field, and Sky Sports report that United are now looking into an incident involving Ronaldo and a mobile phone.

The report goes on to add that eyewitnesses have claimed the incident involved a mobile phone hitting the ground. The Portuguese star was unable to prevent United from suffering another defeat as Everton ran out 1-0 winners at Goodison Park.

He was slumped on the turf after the final whistle, removing his shinpads to show a nasty cut on his shin. The defeat was Ronaldo's first Premier League outing for nearly a month after missing their draw with Leicester City through illness.

For United, they've won just three of their last 12 in all competitions. Prior to Anthony Gordon's first-half strike, the visitors tested Jordan Pickford on a number of occasions as Marcus Rashford forced him into two important saves.

However, they were left frustrated in the second-half as Frank Lampard's side defended resolutely to maintain their lead. The defeat leaves United in seventh with their Champions League hopes all but gone.
