Ronaldo and Taylor Involved in a Spat over an On-field Incident?

Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly involved in a spat with Newcastle United’s Steven Taylor during half-time of United’s 2-1 victory. However, Taylor denied the rumor, claiming that Ronaldo was nowhere close to him during half-time. In the first half, Taylor charged his arm towards Ronaldo and was shown yellow card for that.

Well, I do not know what exactly happened in the tunnel, but I think, both the players are matured enough not to involve in a bust-up over an on-field incident. Reports have it in the media that Ronaldo called Taylor “rubbish footballer”, while Taylor reacted strongly calling Ronaldo an “Ugly” player.
