Ronaldo took to Instagram to apologize for the occurrence.
“It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing. Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game,” he wrote.
“I would like to apologise 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,” he added.
The loss left United seventh in the Premier League standings and they face the possibility of not making it to the Champions League as they are six points behind fourth-set Tottenham Hotspur.
