Cristiano Ronaldo, a former Manchester United player after being sacked by the club yesterday, has been handed a two-match ban and fined 50,000 pounds (55,000 euros) for throwing a young fan’s mobile phone on the ground.
After losing in the Premier League on April 9 against Everton, Cristiano threw a fan’s mobile phone on the ground as he went to the changing room tunnel.
As explained by the English federation in a statement, Cristiano admitted the charges of which he was accused, improper and violent behavior.
This decision comes at a time when Cristiano has finished his contract with Manchester United, so he will not be able to serve the punishment, if he does not play again in England.
no compensation
By the way, according to the English press, Cristiano left United without receiving the 15.5 million pounds (18 million euros) that he would have been entitled to for the remainder of his contract.
Cristiano still has a contract until June 30, 2023, but has not received a termination payment since United argued that, had they taken the case to trial, they would have won.
powerful reason
According to the English newspaper, Cristiano’s statements on the Piers Morgan program, where he openly criticized the club, violated the clauses of his contract, so that, in court, the Portuguese will not have the possibility to claim compensation.
Contract violations reportedly committed by Cristiano included openly criticizing the club, giving an interview without permission and disobeying the manager by refusing to enter the field in a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur
