The FA have decided not to launch any disciplinary action against Cristiano Ronaldo after the Manchester United star appeared to kick out at Tottenham's Michael Dawson in Saturday's game between the two sides.
Referee Mike Dean, who did not take any action at the time, has looked at the incident but has not deemed it serious.
A Football Association spokesman said: "We contacted the referee, who confirmed he didn't see the incident at the time and, having reviewed footage, he has also confirmed he would not have sent the player off for violent conduct had he seen it.
"On that basis, no further action will be taken."
United had feared that Ronaldo would face a ban for violent conduct, which would have been his second suspension in less than a month.
Meanwhile, veteran boss Sir Alex Ferguson is still waiting to hear from UEFA who are deciding whether Wayne Rooney deliberately stamped on Aalborg's Kasper Risgard during last week's Champions League clash.
Video evidence does not show if there was any intent from the United striker, but UEFA could still hand him anything up to a three-match ban if they deem the challenge to be dangerous or violent.
