A supporter who ran on the pitch to grab a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo has uploaded the image to Instagram and it turns out he is a superfan.
The obsessed fan eyed a rare opportunity to grab a snap with the star during Juventus’ 1-0 victory over the Red Devils.
Known as ‘dilmancr.7’ on Instagram, he legged it onto the pitch and managed to take a picture before being wrestled to the ground.
Ronaldo even told the security guards to let him have his moment of fame before being dragged from the field.
Uploading the images to Instagram he wrote: “hi guys I just want to say thank you for your kind (sic) Cristiano you are not only prayer you are legend you are a great person I’m very excited to take selfie next to you my dreams come true.”
He also wrote alongside another picture of him being piled on by security: “Everybody see it, Ronaldo trying to save me under security.”
A further look into his Instagram account shows how he models himself on the former Real Madrid man.
He has copied his haircuts and wears shirts with ‘Ronaldo 7’ on the back.
A number of videos shows him imitating Ronaldo’s renowned free-kick stance, and even lifts up his shorts to expose his thighs.
United could be punished for the fan’s actions after Uefa confirmed it has opened an investigation into the incident.
