Man Utd news: Cristiano Ronaldo ditches SIU celebration as star ends goal drought | Football | Sport
“I was in the USA and we played against Chelsea and I don’t know where this is coming from, the celebration.
“I just scored the goal and it just came out. It was just natural, to be honest.
“Since that, I started to do it more often and I feel like the supporters and the fans see it and they’re like ‘Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu’.
“I’m like ‘wow! People are reminded of me because of it!’. So it’s good, and I’ll continue doing it like that.”
United’s chances of victory were boosted shortly after Ronaldo’s goal as Brighton captain Lewis Dunk was sent off following a VAR intervention.
