Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has received a police caution after smashing a teen boy's phone on the floor.

The Manchester United striker appeared to slap Jacob Harding's hand as he left the pitch after his side were beaten by Everton at Goodison Park last season. He later apologised.

In a statement on Wednesday, Merseyside Police told the Mirror: “We can confirm that a 37-year-old man voluntarily attended and was interviewed under caution in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage.

"The allegation relates to an incident following the Everton v Manchester United football match at Goodison Park on Saturday 9 April.

“The matter has been dealt with by way of conditional caution. The matter has now concluded."

The paper reports that Ronaldo has agreed to pay compensation to the schoolboy.
