Cristiano Ronaldo has invited the fan who appeared to have his phone smashed at Goodison Park to watch a game at Old Trafford as 'a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.'

The 37-year-old forward has issued an apology on social media in regards to an incident that happened after the final whistle in United's 1-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday afternoon.

After walking past the travelling United support, Ronaldo was about to make his way down the tunnel when he appeared to drop a fan's phone on the ground, according to eyewitnesses.

Twitter account @EvertonHub posted footage of the incident online. You can see the clip below.

Manchester United declared they were looking into the incident after the footage emerged and now, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo has released the following statement on his official Instagram account.

"It's never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing," he wrote. "Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.

"I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship."

It was a bitterly disappointing afternoon for Ralf Rangnick's side, who lost more ground in the race for Champions League football.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, who was the first to leave the dressing room after the 1-0 defeat, did not hold back when asked about his teams efforts against Frank Lampard's men.

"We don't score, we don't even create proper chances to score," he said. "I don't know what to say, to be honest. We're not good enough, that's for sure.

"They [Everton] played Wednesday and they were tired but they had more desire than us, that is not acceptable. Very sad to lose today.

"It is a disgrace from us, we should be winning this game.

Thoughts on Manchester United's performance against Everton on Saturday?
