Christian’s message on Instagram
“Tremendously happy with my first hat-trick since returning to Old Trafford. Nothing beats the feeling of being back on the pitch and helping the team with goals and effort. We have proven once once more that we can beat any team on any given day, as long as we work hard and stick together as one. There are no limits for Manchester United. Whatever happens, let’s go Hell.”
