Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a two-game ban and fined £60,000 by the Football Association for knocking a fan’s phone to the ground.

The 37-year-old, who is now a free agent after having his Manchester United contract was terminated, was charged with “improper and/or violent” following the incident at Everton in April.

The FA are due to officially announce Ronaldo’s punishment later this afternoon.

And they will provide the full written reasons behind their decision for the sanction also.

Both Chelsea and Newcastle have been linked with a swoop for the Portuguese legend.

However, this now means that he will be suspended for two games if he joins another Premier League club.

Ronaldo is expected to play when Portugal face Ghana tomorrow.
