BAFFLED fans are convinced Cristiano Ronaldo appealed for offside on himself when Scott McTominay grabbed Manchester United’s dramatic winner against Omonia.

The Scottish midfielder came off the bench to break the Cypriots’ hearts deep into injury time at Old Trafford.

The 1-0 win bolstered their chances of topping Europa League Group E.

But a hilarious moment seems to show Ronaldo trying to get McTominay’s low finish chalked off.

Jadon Sancho twisted and turned in the box before the ball deflected to the academy graduate, who took a touch before firing past the inspired Francis Uzoho.

Ronaldo was right on the shoulder of the last defender on the six-yard line as the ball flew past him and into the net.

And almost instinctively, the Portuguese superstar – who scored his 700th club goal last weekend – raised his arm and looked towards the assistant referee before he joined in the celebrations.

Ironically, there was not a single appeal from any of the Omonia defenders.

The bizarre move caught the attention of some confused fans on Twitter.

One said: “Did Ronaldo appeal for offside when McTominay scored?”

Another wrote: “Why does Ronaldo always put his hand up for offside when someone scores?”

A third joked: “Ronaldo calling himself offside cause he didn’t score the goal

Another user asked: “Is it me or does Ronaldo ask for offside? What team does he play for?”

And a final one commented: “Nah Ronaldo asking for an offside instead of celebrating the goal is killing me.”

McTominay’s winner was United’s 34th shot of the night as the likes of Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Antony and particularly Marcus Rashford failed to wind a way past Red Devils supporter Uzoho.

The Scot became the first substitute to score in injury time of a European game for the club since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s famous winner in the 1999 Champions League final.
