It was not a happy day for Manchester United, which again left a point on the road in the Premier League and was complicated in the fight to qualify for European competitions at the end of the season. The players of the cast led by Ralf Rangnick left Goodison Park frustrated, mainly Cristiano Ronaldo, who vented his fury on a rival fan.
After the 1-0 defeat to Everton, the 37-year-old Portuguese gunner vented his fury by throwing the phone of a Toffees fan who was filming the Red Devils players' exit from the pitch. The images have quickly gone viral on social media.
Manchester United is aware of what happened and has opened an investigation into this incident involving a Ronaldo who left the playing field with wounds on his left leg. “Manchester United is aware and is investigating the incident involving Cristiano Ronaldo with a mobile phone in Goodison Park,” Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas reported.
In addition, according to The Sun, there are eyewitnesses who claim that the fan's mobile phone flew directly to the ground after Cristiano's slap when he walked to the locker room with the rest of his teammates.
This fall for the slightest difference that the cast led by Rangnick suffered was through a goal converted by Anthony Gordon in the first half. It is a result that could hamper Manchester United's chances of finishing in the top four teams in the Premier League standings at the end of the season.
It was not a comfortable match for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the pitch with his shin guard in his left hand because in one of the last actions of the match he had a clash with an opponent that caused him two deep cuts. There are images of his left leg bleeding, with wounds in the tibia area.
Manchester United have lost three of their last five games in the Premier League and under the leadership of Ralf Rangnick have managed to achieve only eight victories in 17 appearances. In the case of Cristiano, he had only one shot in the whole game and Jordan Pickford, Everton's goalkeeper, was contained, who denied him the goal with a fantastic save after a close shot.
