A football fan who got a tattoo after Cristiano Ronaldo re-signed for Manchester United has been trolled ever since he left for Saudi Arabia.

Christina Henriette Longva Andreassen is a huge Red Devils fan and has ‘M.U.F.C’ inked to her finger to shush 𝓈ℯ𝓍ist men who say women don’t know football.

But she also has the team’s iconic number seven shirt on the back of her upper arm.

Ronaldo was one of the most famous players to don the famous seven at Old Trafford – and he joined United for the second time on Christina’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day.

Yet when he left Manchester for the Middle East last December, some were quick to mock Christina’s tattoo.

The 34-year-old said: “My tattoo is the outline of a United shirt seen from behind with the number seven on the back.

“This was a 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day surprise from my best friend around the time we re-signed Ronaldo who actually signed on my 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day.

“Mind you it wasn’t a Ronaldo tattoo, more of all our number sevens and what they represent.”

Despite clarifying the meaning behind the body art, social media users still laugh at her for getting it.

She explained: “The shirt with the number has had some mixed reviews.

“Most people think it’s really cool but then you have those who use it to quiz you and see if you really know football.

“Or like when Ronaldo left Manchester I got some idiots in a condescending way asking if I regret the tattoo now that he had left. I made a reel about it on Instagram because I was tired of answering the same question.

“So there was a tiny bit of trolling when Ronaldo left and I also spoke very openly about my disappointment in Beckham for being a UNICEF ambassador and supporting Qatar at the same time, that really didn’t sit right with me, the hypocrisy of it.”

Under one of her posts, one commenter wrote: “I would be getting that tattoo removed or covered.”

In response, footie influencer Christina showed off a United top with Eric Cantona on the back with the words: “Remember, there’s more than one number seven.”

Christina is from a small town in Norway but now lives in Oslo.

And she gave an insight into how big the club is there, particularly with the Red Army Oslo supporter group.

She said: “I was walking down the street in a United shirt after winning our last league title and this man came running out of nowhere, threw me over his shoulder and said I needed to celebrate with them.

“He proceeded to carry me to a bar packed with fellow United supporters celebrating the title. This was ten years ago and I have been part of the community since, watching games with them, going on trips to Manchester.

“I also met my best friend in the toilet that day. Like in a bad romcom our eyes met in the mirror of the ladies room and we got talking and have been besties ever since.”

Her pal is called Ann Mari and she is the one who got the matching number 7 tattoo with Christina.

And as for why Christina actually follows Man United, she explained: “My interest for football came from my grandmother who was a huge Tottenham supporter.

“My grandpa was Newcastle and they had four satellites at home to get all the channels to watch all the football, English, German, Spanish, Italian, you name it.

“But English football was the main event and family gatherings were structured around matches. Her passion was unmatched.

“My mum supported Manchester United and so I think that’s why I ended up being a United fan.

“I have no real memory of becoming one since it’s just been a natural part of my life for as long as I remember.”
