Man United boss Erik ten Hag admits he is in the dark over timing of Cristiano Ronaldo's disciplinary hearing and what games he might miss after the forward accepted FA charge for slapping a phone out of a 14-year-old's hand

Erik ten Hag admits he is in the dark over the timing of a disciplinary hearing that could land Cristiano Ronaldo with a ban.

On Monday, Ronaldo accepted an FA charge relating to improper and/or violent conduct for slapping a mobile phone out of the hand of a teenage fan, having already apologised over the incident at Everton in April and been handed a caution by Merseyside Police.

United have vowed to support the Portugal star in his attempts to avoid a ban by offering context and mitigations over the incident.
