Manchester United Fans Win 'Worst Limbs Of The Season' Award For Cristiano Ronaldo Penalty Celebrations

Twitter account @FootyLimbs has spoken.

The celebrations at Old Trafford after Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 801st goal of his career in a Premier League clash against Arsenal has been awarded the 'worst limbs of the season so far' award.

Back in December, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions for United this season, netted a brace as the Reds recorded a 3-2 win over Mikel Arteta's side.

It was a memorable game at the Theatre of Dreams. Bruno Fernandes cancelled out a bizarre goal from Emile Smith Rowe before Marcus Rashford provided Ronaldo with his 800th career goal.

Arsenal's Martin Odegaard picked out the bottom corner with a cool finish to equalise but the Norwegian fouled United midfielder Fred in the box with 20 minutes remaining, giving that man Ronaldo a chance to make it 3-2.

Like he has done on so many occasions down the years, Portugal's all-time top goalscorer converted the spot-kick and wheeled away in front of the Stretford End before performing his trademark 'SUIIII' celebration.

Fan footage soon emerged of the moment and well, it has since been awarded the 'worst limbs of the season so far' award by popular Twitter account @FootyLimbs, who have over 98,000 followers on the social media platform.

The tweet has certainly picked up plenty of reaction on social media since it was posted on Wednesday.

One fan wrote: "Horrible how many phones you see here, no wonder atmosphere has been dead at Old Trafford few times this season," while another said: "I hate this new trend of filming goals for Twitter likes. Just celebrate with your players oml."

A third went on to comment: "Was that for a goal? Surely not."

To be fair, the crowd reaction at Old Trafford sounded far louder in the below footage posted by Amazon Prime.
