The Man United player is now facing the very real possibility of a multiple-match ban. | YouMagazine

Cristiano Ronaldo was charged by the British Football Association for improper conduct after an incident involving a teen with autism following Manchester United's loss in April.

As the 14-year-old tried to catch the Manchester United superstar's attention as he headed back to the changing room at Goodison Park, following the Red Devils' 1-0 defeat to Everton in April, Ronaldo lashed out and angrily slapped Jacob’s phone out of his hand. Cristiano looked dejected following Manchester United’s defeat to Everton in April at Goodison Park. Following the incident, the police confirmed that Ronaldo was “interviewed under caution in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage”. The father-of-five then publicly apologised to the teen, saying it’s “never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments”.

“The phone rang again, and a man said, ‘Hello, this is Cristiano Ronaldo’. He asked me if I would like to come down and meet his family. He said, ‘I’m not a bad dad’. I said to him, ‘I never said you were a bad dad’. He said, ‘I had a terrible upbringing, I lost my dad’. I said to him, ‘Everybody has a sob story, Ronaldo, I lost my dad young, I’ve had cancer’,” Sarah told the Daily Mirror in August.

Ronaldo, who led Portugal in the match, threw his captain’s armband on the pitch and stormed off after his goal was not given resulting in a 2-2 draw against Serbia.
