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. <\/p>\n
Christina Henriette Longva Andreassen is a huge Red Devils fan and has \u2018M.U.F.C\u2019 inked to her finger to shush sexist men who say women don\u2019t know football. <\/p>\n
But she also has the team\u2019s iconic number seven shirt on the back of her upper arm. <\/p>\n
Ronaldo was one of the most famous players to don the famous seven at Old Trafford \u2013 and he joined United for the second time on Christina\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

Yet when he left Manchester for the Middle East last December, some were quick to mock Christina\u2019s tattoo. <\/p>\n
The 34-year-old said: \u201cMy tattoo is the outline of a United shirt seen from behind with the number seven on the back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a birthday surprise from my best friend around the time we re-signed Ronaldo who actually signed on my birthday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe both took the same one, just different placings and it is both a friendship tattoo and a symbol of our dedication to Manchester United. <\/p>\n
\u201cMind you it wasn\u2019t a Ronaldo tattoo, more of all our number sevens and what they represent.\u201d <\/p>\n
Despite clarifying the meaning behind the body art, social media users still laugh at her for getting it. <\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cThe shirt with the number has had some mixed reviews. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMost people think it\u2019s really cool but then you have those who use it to quiz you and see if you really know football. <\/p>\n
\u201cOr 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo 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\u2019t sit right with me, the hypocrisy of it.\u201d <\/p>\n
Under one of her posts, one commenter wrote: \u201cI would be getting that tattoo removed or covered.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In response, footie influencer Christina showed off a United top with Eric Cantona on the back with the words: \u201cRemember, there\u2019s more than one number seven.\u201d <\/p>\n
Christina is from a small town in Norway but now lives in Oslo. <\/p>\n
And she gave an insight into how big the club is there, particularly with the Red Army Oslo supporter group. <\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI 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. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHe 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her pal is called Ann Mari and she is the one who got the matching number 7 tattoo with Christina. <\/p>\n
And as for why Christina actually follows Man United, she explained: \u201cMy interest for football came from my grandmother who was a huge Tottenham supporter. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMy 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut English football was the main event and family gatherings were structured around matches. Her passion was unmatched. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy mum supported Manchester United and so I think that\u2019s why I ended up being a United fan. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have no real memory of becoming one since it\u2019s just been a natural part of my life for as long as I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
