Ronaldo Slapped With £50,000 Fine, Banned By The FA
Ex-Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been slapped with a fine of £50,000 and given a two-match ban by the football association in England.
After an incident that happened in April when Ronaldo smashed a fan’s phone at Goodison Park when Man United lost to Everton last season, the FA have now finalized their investigation and handed Ronaldo his punishment.
This comes just a day after it was announced that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner had his contract with United terminated by mutual agreement as a result of his explosive interview about the management of the club and the manager, Erik ten Hag.
Recall that 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 report, 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.
At the moment, Ronaldo is in Qatar getting set for Portugal’s World Cup opening match against Ghana on Thursday.
