Cristiano Ronaldo, a former Manchester United striker, has been fined £50,000 and banned for two matches by the English Football Association.

During an April incident in which Ronaldo shattered a fan's phone at Goodison Park following Man United's loss to Everton last season, the FA has officially completed its investigation and given Ronaldo his sentence.

This comes only one day after it was reported that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's contract with United had been mutually terminated after his heated interview with Piers Morgan criticizing the club's management and manager, Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo said that the club has stayed static following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, with no signs of progress. He also said that he had no regard for Ten Hag since the management did not.

The Glazers, Man United's owners, also stated on Tuesday evening that they were putting the club up for sale and would be open to bids.

According to The Mirror UK, if Ronaldo joins another Premier League side, he will be punished for two games. Chelsea and Newcastle have both been linked with a bid for the 37-year-old.

Ronaldo is now in Qatar, preparing for Portugal's first World Cup encounter against Ghana on Thursday.
