Following Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Everton, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to knock a cell phone out of the palm of a supporter.
A mother also alleged that the Portuguese superstar ‘assaulted’ and ‘bruised’ her 14-year-old son by grabbing his phone out of his hand while on full-time duty. Sarah Kelly of Upton took her son Jake Harding to Goodison Park on Saturday for the first time to witness his favourite Blues play.

Ronaldo’s followers were eager to defend him. Some speculated that it was the 37-year-shin old’s pad, given he was spotted clutching only one. His second shin pad, though, looks to be in his sock.
