Released Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has been fined £50,000 and handed a two-match ban by the FA after smashing a fan's phone earlier this year.

Following United's defeat to Everton at Goodison Park last season, Ronaldo appeared to slap the hand of Jacob Harding as he stormed down the tunnel, damaging the boy's phone.

The FA have now concluded their investigation, and handed Ronaldo a hefty fine as well as a suspension, says The Mirror.

While the investigation was ongoing last month, it was reported that Ronaldo would accept an improper conduct charge from the FA, but was determined to fight the threat of a potential ban.

Now that he has been given a suspension, it remains to be seen whether he will dispute the punishment handed down.

The charge comes just a day after he ended his second spell at United following his interview with Piers Morgan where he criticised the club.
