Footage made the rounds showing CR7 smashing an object as it was alleged that he had grabbed it from a supporter’s hand.

It was gathered that Jake and his mother Sarah were in the Park End behind the goal and close to the tunnel where both home and away players walk through at the end of the game.

Frustrated Ronaldo has however taken to social media to apologise, but Sarah has emerged with full details of all that went down.

She told the Liverpool ECHO:

"At full-time the Man United players started walking off. We were in the Park End so we were right by the tunnel where they came walking past - my son was there videoing them all.
"He filmed all the United players walking through. And then he lowered his phone because Ronaldo had pulled down his sock and his leg was bleeding. He lowered his phone to see what it was - he didn’t even speak.
"Ronaldo then just walked past, with a terrible, terrible temper and smashed the phone out of my son’s hand and carried on walking."

Pictures shared with the ECHO show Jake’s bruised hand as well as the smashed screen on his phone.

Ronaldo apologises

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday apologised for knocking a mobile phone out of the hands of a supporter as he left the pitch following Manchester United's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Footage on social media emerged which appeared to show the Portugal star clashing with an Everton supporter as he headed for the tunnel at Goodison Park. He wrote on IG:

"It's never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing."
