Cristiano Ronaldo: Improper conduct charge over fan’s phone to be determined by FA hearing
Written by Olarotimi Oshin on October 11, 2022
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s improper conduct charge will be determined by an FA hearing.
Ronaldo is understood to have responded to the Football Association’s charge of breaching rule E3, which relates to improper and/or violent conduct.
It relates to an incident after United’s Premier League defeat by Everton in April.
Ronaldo was filmed appearing to knock a phone out of an Everton fan’s hand as he made his way to the dressing room.
It is not known whether Ronaldo has accepted the charge, although given the 37-year-old was cautioned by police in August and apologised to the young fan immediately after the incident, it is the most likely scenario, with the player set to argue there were mitigating factors that led to the incident.
The Premier League defeat at Everton dealt a blow to United’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, and they went on to finish sixth.
