Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday apologised for knocking a mobile phone out of the hands of a supporter as he left the pitch following Manchester United’s 0-1 defeat to Everton. Anthony Gordon scored Everton’s match-winner in the 27th minute.

Footage that emerged on social media appeared to show Ronaldo clashing with an Everton supporter as he headed for the tunnel at Goodison Park. “It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing,” Ronaldo, 37, wrote on Instagram.
