By Associated PressLONDON: Cristiano Ronaldo was charged by the Football Association on Friday in relation to an incident that saw the Manchester United forward apparently knock a phone out of an Everton fan's hand at a Premier League match in April. Ronaldo received a police caution in August after being interviewed by officers in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage following the incident at Goodison Park on April 9. The footage was posted online of Ronaldo appearing to knock the supporter's mobile phone onto the ground as he walked toward the tunnel following United's 1-0 loss. After the incident, Ronaldo issued a social media apology for his "outburst" and invited the supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair play and sportsmanship.
