It’s bad enough that Ronaldo is playing for a 7th-place Manchester United side these days, but he’s now also facing an assault inquiry after smacking a phone out of the hands of a young Everton fan at Goodison Park last weekend:

Turns out the fan is 14-year-old Jacob Kelly, who suffers from autism and dyspraxia. He was left with a bruised hand and smashed phone following the incident:
Ronaldo’s now tried to make it up to the lad by inviting him to a game in the most half-a*sed apology you’ll ever see:

Amazing. Pure damage control from CR7! Why not apologise to the boy privately? Why would an Everton fan want to go to Old Trafford and watch Ronaldo repeatedly sigh and throw his hands up at his teammates for 90 mins?
Jacob’s mum Sarah Kelly isn’t happy about the apology at all. She told The Telegraph:
‘The apology or lack of apology was what angered me even more. I thought, ‘How rude – you are telling everybody you have apologised and you haven’t’. OK, you have put it out to social media but… you should be apologising to my son.’
‘He [Ronaldo] had several hours to ponder on it. He should have found out our contact details… been private, said he had spoken to us and released something. I would have been happy with that.’
‘I was quite shocked United hadn’t put a statement out asking us to get in touch, just something a bit heartfelt, rather than Ronaldo saying the supporter can come to me.
‘That comes across really, really rude to me. Why would we, as Everton fans, go to United? He put, ‘this supporter’. It doesn’t state if he was an Everton supporter or a United supporter. It’s just a very, very weak apology in my opinion.
‘It was our first time [together at football]. Jacob is obsessed with Everton and football. It’s his passion. It just took a complete shine off the game, the win, the experience. I’m not even thinking of the day I had with him, the nice time before the incident. I’m just thinking of the last five seconds. It has completely spoilt it. It’s shocking.
‘I did ask him: ‘Would you like to go? Ronaldo said we could go to United’. He said, ‘No, mum, I would never want to see him again’.
Oh well, at least Man Utd won’t be punishing him:
