Cristiano Ronaldo (37, Manchester United), who smashed the phone of a boy fan of the opposing team following the match and dropped it on the floor, is expected to be punished by the English Football Association (FA).

The Associated Press reported on the 23rd (local time) that the FA had referred Ronaldo to the disciplinary committee.

The FA reported that Ronaldo had violated the rules for inappropriate and violent behavior and entered into disciplinary proceedings.

After an away game once morest Everton in the English Premier League in April this year, Ronaldo smashed the phone of a 14-year-old Everton fan requesting an autograph and dropped it to the floor.

At that time, Manchester United (Man United) lost 0-1 to Everton, and there was an interpretation that Ronaldo, who was uncomfortable with a sudden loss, was expressing his anger once morest the fans.

A fan at the scene posted this video on social media, and Ronaldo eventually had to issue an apology amid criticism from fans.

Afterwards, Ronaldo was even investigated by the police, and last month, the Merseyside Police in England issued a cautionary measure once morest Ronaldo and closed the case.

However, Ronaldo does not seem to be able to avoid disciplinary action by the FA.

Manchester United said, “We are aware of the FA’s announcement regarding Ronaldo and will support Ronaldo in accordance with the disciplinary committee’s procedures.”
