Cristiano Ronaldo 101

Sir Alex Ferguson has taken disciplinary action against Cristiano Ronaldo after the headbutt offence that prompted the second red card of the Portugal winger’s career in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Portsmouth on Wednesday.

Ronaldo is to miss United’s next three matches, starting with Sunday’s derby at Manchester City, and Ferguson intends to impose a mandatory club fine.

Under PFA guidelines, the maximum is two weeks’ wages, which means Ronaldo could be docked around £230,000. Ferguson believes Ronaldo was “provoked” but was incensed by the player’s rash response.

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in United’s Premier League match against Portsmouth, which ended in a 1-1 draw at Fratton Park.

2 draws in a row for Manchester United… the season is still early, but it’s not spelling good for the Red Devils.

To make thing worse, Ronaldo’s headbutt and the red card means that he is going to miss the next match for sure, and is almost certain that he will miss another 2 more matches after FA revealing the incident.

With Wayne Rooney (and a few others) already out of injury, Ronaldo’s suspension is going to cause some real headache for United.
