Cristiano Ronaldo broke the phone of a 14-year-old autistic boy, prompting the youngster’s mother to call him ‘arrogant’

Ronaldo appeared to slap Jacob Harding’s hand as he went down the tunnel after Manchester United’s loss to Everton last season, destroying the boy’s phone.
After apologising, the 37-year-old was interrogated by police for assault and criminal damage and cautioned.
Sarah Kelly says she declined to meet Ronaldo after the incident, but he called her and they had a 10-minute conversation.

 

She told The Mirror he wanted her to meet his family. “I’m not a lousy dad,” he remarked. “I never said you were a lousy dad,” I said. “I had a bad background and lost my dad,” he stated. I told him, “Everyone has a sob tale. I lost my dad early and had cancer.”

I told him my name was Sarah and he apologised for calling me Jack.
Ronaldo was cautioned for smashing an autistic boy’s phone at Everton last season.

The Merseyside mother planned to sue the player and United, but was startled when he questioned her.

‘It’s never simple to deal with emotions in hard times,’ he wrote.
We must be respectful, patient, and provide an example for young football fans.
As a demonstration of fair play and sportsmanship, I’d like to invite this fan to a game at Old Trafford.’
