Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Cristiano Ronaldo will 'not accept' the Football Association improper conduct charge for the incident after last season's Premier League defeat at Everton.
Ronaldo had until Monday evening to respond to the incident.
The Portugal forward has already received a police caution after he knocked a mobile phone out of the hands of a young Everton fan as he made his way down the tunnel at Goodison Park.
“We spoke about that," said Ten Hag. “He will not accept it."
