Former Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been suspended for two matches and fined £50,000 by the football association in England.
This is based on an incident that occurred in April when Ronaldo smashed a fan’s phone at Goodison Park after Man United lost to Everton last season.
The FA after concluding their investigation handed Ronaldo his punishment.
This comes barely 24 hours after it was announced that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner had his contract with United terminated by mutual agreement following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan about the management of the club and the manager, Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo said the club had remained stagnant since Sir Alex Ferguson left back in 2013, adding that there was no growth whatsoever. He also said he had no respect for Ten Hag cause the manager had no respect for him.
According to The Mirror UK, the ban means that Ronaldo would be suspended for two games if he joins another Premier League club, with Chelsea and Newcastle both linked with a move for the 37-year-old.
Ronaldo is presently in Qatar preparing for Portugal’s World Cup opening match against Ghana on Thursday
