Ronaldo, 37, who is now a free agent, lunged at a teenage fan as he was leaving the pitch following a 1-0 defeat to struggling Everton on April 9, knocking his mobile phone from his hand. The incident was also dealt with by the Liverpool police, who closed the case with a complaint in mid-August.
In September, Ronaldo was accused by the FA of inappropriate behaviour. An independent commission has now awarded him a free-kick which will not affect his work at the World Cup, but the Portuguese captain will start a possible new engagement with a gap of two games.
Ronaldo ended his spell at Manchester United on Tuesday, with the Premier League club announcing they had ended their partnership with the player by mutual consent. The star has criticized manager Erik ten Hag and the United management in an explosive interview before the start of the World Cup. In an interview for TalkTV, he said, among other things, that he felt betrayed by the club and said he had no respect for the coach.
