Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday apologised for knocking a
mobile phone out of the hands of a supporter as he left the pitch following
Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Everton.
Footage on social media emerged which appeared to show the
Portugal star clashing with an Everton supporter as he headed for the tunnel at
Goodison Park.
“It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments
such as the one we are facing,” 37-year-old Ronaldo wrote on Instagram.
“Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and
set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.
“I would like to
apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this
supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and
sportsmanship.”
United’s lacklustre performance at relegation-threatened
Everton left them in seventh place in the table, six points adrift of the
Champions League places.
