Jesse Lingard then came from the bench to fire the Red Devils to the much-needed win as they maintain an unbeaten status in the Premier League this campaign.

While CR7 and his teammates were heading back into the dressing room, the supporter escaped the presence of the stewards at the venue and raced to take a snapshot with the superstar.
