Reports suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo has been dropped by a charity following his outburst this past weekend that saw him smash a 14-year-old boy's phone as he made his way down the tunnel.
The 37-year-old caused a major stir when he appeared to hit an Everton supporter's phone out of his hand as he headed for the dressing room following Manchester United's 1-0 loss to Everton on Saturday.
The incident is said to be under investigation by Merseyside police, while Ronaldo has issued an apology to the young fan, whom he subsequently invited to Old Trafford to watch a game.
The mother of the boy, Sarah, later revealed that her son was not interested in meeting up with the ex-Real Madrid superstar, saying her son was traumatised by the events at what she said was his first-ever game he attended.
According to reports, United felt satisfied with Ronaldo's message to the fan in the aftermath of the incident and therefore decided further punishment would not be necessary.
As per Gazzetta dello Sport, however, children's charity Save the Children have since dropped the five-time Ballon d'Or winner from his ambassadorial role with them, likely as they believe the forward has not set an appropriate example.
The Red Devils are set to go up against Norwich City in the Premier League this weekend, with United's hopes of finishing in the top four quickly dwindling.
The Canaries, meanwhile, will head into the clash off the back of a 2-0 win over Burnley.
