Cristiano Ronaldo admits to violating FA rules after knocking a phone out of a 14-year-hand. old's

Even though Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said he would fight the FA allegation, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has

opted to accept it.

After United's defeat at Everton in April, the Portuguese striker was charged last month for violating FA Rule E3 regarding improper and/or aggressive conduct after swatting a cellphone out of the hand of a young supporter.

Ten Hag stated: "We talked about that." The 37-year-old had until Monday to react to the accusation. He won't agree to it.

According to United insiders, Ronaldo has already admitted to the charge, has previously apologized in public for his behavior, and has received a caution from Merseyside Police for the incident after being questioned about claims of violence and property damage.

As Ronaldo hobbled off the field at Goodison Park, a 14-year-old fan named Jake Harding attempted to capture the moment on his phone. According to the boy's mother Sarah Kelly, the Portugal star violently smacked the phone out of the boy's hand, leaving him with an injured hand.

However, United is attempting to defend Ronaldo by providing context and mitigating factors in the hopes of avoiding a multi-game suspension.

It is believed that it will include Ronaldo's apologies and a personal invitation for the young man to attend an Old Trafford game. The youngster and his mother declined the latter offer.
