The Football Association will recommence its investigation into Cristiano Ronaldo’s behaviour at Everton last season after the striker was cautioned by police for knocking a phone out of a fan’s hand at Goodison Park.

The 37-year-old was interviewed by Merseyside Police in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage following the incident on April 9, when footage showed the Portugal international appearing to knock the supporter’s mobile phone to the ground as Ronaldo limped towards the tunnel following United’s 1-0 defeat.
