Last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo was mainly concerned with his desire to leave Manchester United and move to a team playing in the Champions League, but it turns out that the strained relationship between the 37-year-old Portuguese and the Red Devils is not the only thing that preoccupies him.
Today (Tuesday), less than a day after coming on in the 86th minute as a substitute in United's victory over Liverpool (1:2), the mother of the 14-year-old fan who Ronaldo smashed his cell phone after the loss to Everton last season was interviewed.
To recall, after United's 1:0 loss to the Toffees in April, Ronaldo took the phone from the hands of 14-year-old Jacob Harding, a boy who suffers from autism, and smashed it on the floor.
The Portuguese apologized on the networks and the incident also led to a police investigation against him on suspicion of assault, but it turns out that the family's conversations with Ronaldo were no less humiliating.

"He asked if I wanted to come meet his family and said, 'I'm not a bad father,'" said the boy's mother, "I answered him, 'I never said you were a bad father.' He continued to say, 'I had a bad upbringing and I lost my father.' And I told him, 'We all have a difficult story, I lost my father and I got cancer.' He kept calling me Jack and didn't know my name at all, until I told him my name was Sarah. He apologized immediately, but my son never did either. called Jacob aka 'the boy'. He also told me 'I know the boy has problems' and I replied 'he doesn't have a problem, he has a disability. You are the one with the problem'."
He is the most arrogant person I have ever talked to in my life"
In the meantime, the kingdom is currently dealing with another embarrassing incident related to Ronaldo.
Yesterday before the game against Liverpool, he passed by the Sky commentary team and demonstratively ignored former Liverpool player - Jamie Carragher, this after he criticized him harshly a few days ago.
"He has a long career because he's a professional, but he's already 37 years old," said Krager, "he'll be 38 this season and he's not the same player. He's still a great scorer, but he's not the player he was. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there is A club in Europe that wants him."
Unlike Carragher, who was treated coldly, Ronaldo gave a warm hug to the other commentators - Roy Keane and Gary Neville.
