Cristiano Ronaldo displayed a new celebration after scoring his 700th club goal against Everton.
Ronaldo started on the bench yet again in the Premier League but found himself introduced after half an hour following an injury sustained by Anthony Martial.
And the Portuguese superstar made the most of his opportunity by putting United 2-1 up on the stroke of half time with a tidy left-foot finish past Jordan Pickford.
The goal brought another incredible milestone for Ronaldo but he didn't celebrate with his usual jumping 'SIUUU' war cry.
Instead, Ronaldo came up with a brand new celebration featuring new signing and fellow goalscorer Antony.
They both stood together near the corner flag and coldly locked their hands together while their eyes closed.

It was Ronaldo's first goal at Goodison Park and his 144th strike for United over two spells. His glittering career total has also seen him score five for Sporting, 450 for Real Madrid and 101 for Juventus.
While at Juve, Ronaldo remixed his 'SIU' celebration with Paulo Dybala's mask gesture to put a new spin on things.
The new celebration doesn't have a new name just yet but might need one in the coming weeks.
Ronaldo desperately wanted to leave in the summer transfer window but a move away did not come to fruition.

Although reluctantly, he stayed put and opened his account for the new season against Sheriff in the Europa League, before getting that 700th career goal on Sunday evening.
Speculation surrounding his future is still rife, with the latest report indicating that David Beckham's Inter Miami could go in for the 37-year-old in the January transfer window.
