Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo smashed a fan’s mobile phone as he left the pitch after his side lost 1-0 to Everton at Goodison Park in Liverpool on Saturday.

The phone belongs to 14-year-old Jake Harding. His mother, Sarah Kelly, told the Liverpool Echo in an interview that Ronaldo had “assaulted” and “bruised” her son. She also shared pictures that appear to show bruising on Jake’s hand and a phone with a smashed screen.

Ronaldo said on Instagram that “It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing.”

“I would like to apologize 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,” he said.
