“United have handled it terribly and it’s just made things even worse to be honest.
“The way I see it is, if someone assaulted him in the street and then asked us to go around for dinner, we wouldn’t. Just because he’s Cristiano Ronaldo, why would we do it? It’s like we owe him a favour, but I’m sorry, we don’t.
He's just lost his cool, but you can't do that 👀 Ronaldo took his anger out on this fan's phone. #StanSportAU @Craig_Foster | @VinceRugari | @TheRealBozza | @jonawils pic.twitter.com/GS69SqMqBq

“We’ve kindly declined the offer to go to United because Jake doesn’t want to go there and he doesn’t want to see Ronaldo. He’s made that pretty clear.
“They’re not my words, they’re my son’s words. At the end of the day, this is what it’s about. It’s affected him more than it’s affected me, so I have put everything to him to make his own mind up on – he doesn’t want to go to United, he doesn’t want to go to see Ronaldo. All that I’m saying right now is that it’s in the hands of the police.”
This is hugely embarrassing for United as their season continues to go from bad to worse, both on and off the pitch.
