Football fans poke fun at Cristiano Ronaldo after HORROR penalty

Football supporters have mocked Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese was left red-faced following a missed penalty against Middlesbrough.

Ronaldo, 36, had the chance to open the scoring from 12 yards for United on Friday night after Paul Pogba was fouled by Boro defender Anfernee Dijksteel in his own penalty box.

However, Ronaldo screwed his effort wide of goal to stun the Old Trafford masses, while the 9,000 travelling fans cheered wildly after the Portuguese's surprise miss.

'Penaldo is truly finished', one fan wrote on Twitter after his horror miss. 'Penaldo missed his favourite meal', another Twitter user wrote.

'Nobody should miss the target from 12 yards. Should dock wages if a professional does it,' one supporter suggested.

'Can't do the only thing making him relevant,' another tweet read. 'Let's all laugh at Ronaldo,' said one fan, followed by a series of laughing emojis.
