United are considering the incident with Ronaldo, after the striker seemed to take the phone of a fan out of their hands after the 1-0 defeat by Everton.

A video appeared with Ronaldo apparently lowering his right hand to the ground in frustration. He seems to be coming in contact with something that seems to be a fan phone.
The object immediately fell to the floor and the fans mocked the attacker as a result of the incident.
A post has gone viral on social media, with a Sarah Kelly accusing Ronaldo of “assaulting a child”.
He wrote: “Well, a great game in the fight was played between me and Jake with the police.
“I can not believe I am saying this, but Ronaldo broke Jake’s phone from his hand while recording him going out full time.
“I’m shocked that a professional footballer can attack a child like that. If anyone can download videos for me, I think they are already on Instagram.
“I’m not there, please let me know! These footballers are thugs. He is a father himself, how would he feel if this happened to his child ??? »

David de Gea described the defeat of Manchester United by Everton as a “shame”, after he failed to beat the 17th team at Goodison Park on Saturday.
“It’s a shame for us, to be honest, we have to win the game,” De Gea told BT Sport. We do not create, that is the problem. We do not even create the right opportunities for goals. I do not know what to say, to be honest.
The Manchester United goalkeeper went on to say: “We are not good enough, that’s for sure. It will be very difficult now to be in the top four “.
We knew in advance that they are having a hard time, but how difficult it is to play here even when they are not in a good mood, but they play with more desire.
They played on Wednesday, they were tired, they were a little nervous, you felt it, even with that we lose the game.

Manchester United’s interim boss Ralph Rangnick said the result was “disappointing”.
“Of course it is not the perfect atmosphere. But you saw that they were tired, they were nervous, and come on, they keep going and they keep fighting to win. They wanted more than us. That’s not acceptable and it’s very sad to lose today. “
Meanwhile, interim United manager Ralph Rangnick said: “If you do not score a single goal in 95 minutes, you have to be disappointed.
“We made a good start to the game, we were in control of the game for the first 25 minutes. We should have created more opportunities from this dominance in the first 25 minutes.
“Then we got a shot that followed, a goal after a shot that followed, and then we lost some of our composure and gait.
“In the second half we tried to add more creativity and verticality with our changes, but we did not always make the right decisions. In the end, we did not manage to score a single goal in 95 minutes “.
