Manchester United suffered a shock 3-1 loss at the hands of Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday. While the result was as surprising as it gets, star striker Cristiano Ronaldo was yellow carded during the match after he got into an ugly WWE-style brawl with defender Tyrone Mings.
Players from both sides had to intervene and separate Ronaldo and Mings after they went head-to-head. The incident took place in the 60th minute when Man United were 3-1 down to Villa.
Ronaldo was unhappy after he was closely marked by Mings, and the Portuguese forward dragged down the centre-back after a coming together. United teenager Alejandro Garnacho was on the ball as he tried to bring his side back into the contest, but he failed to beat Matty Cash.
