Cristiano Ronaldo's new celebration explained
After Cristiano Ronaldo performed his new nap celebration instead of the usual siuuuu celebration, Manchester United took to their club website and provided the reasoning for the same. "We can now reveal that Ronaldo’s celebration was a self-deprecating in-joke with his fellow team-mates, highlighting the strong bonds among the players in Erik ten Hag’s squad," wrote the Red Devils.
Manchester United's explanation for Ronaldo's new celebration hilariously added, "CR7’s celebration at Everton was amusingly a nod to the position in which he sleeps when travelling with the squad, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by his team-mates who are all eager to learn from him."
