Christina, 34, is inked all over her body with Man Utd themed tattoos.
On her finger alone she has “M.U.F.C” inked on to hit back at sexiest trolls who claim women don’t know football.
But it is a larger tattoo on the back of her upper arm which sees her bear the brunt of jokes.
The tattoo in question is the back of a United shirt with the teams iconic number seven shirt written on it.
However, despite the historied story of the shirt – with names such as George Best, David Beckham and Eric Cantona – its recent past has left a hard to wash out stain on its memory.
And this also stems from one of the shirts most iconic wearers, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Christina, who is from a small town in Norway but lives in the capital of Oslo, revealed she got the ink work done around the time Ronaldo re-signed for the club.
She told the Daily Star: “My tattoo is the outline of a United shirt seen from behind with the number seven on the back.

“This was a birthday surprise from my best friend around the time we re-signed Ronaldo who actually signed on my birthday.
“We both took the same one, just different placings and it is both a friendship tattoo and a symbol of our dedication to Manchester United.
“Mind you it wasn’t a Ronaldo tattoo, more of all our number sevens and what they represent.”
And the Ronaldo association has led to trolling on social media.
She explained: “The shirt with the number has had some mixed reviews.
“Most people think it’s really cool but then you have those who use it to quiz you and see if you really know football.
“Or like when Ronaldo left Manchester I got some idiots in a condescending way asking if I regret the tattoo now that he had left.
“I made a reel about it on Instagram because I was tired of answering the same question.
“So there was a tiny bit of trolling when Ronaldo left and I also spoke very openly about my disappointment in Beckham for being a UNICEF ambassador and supporting Qatar at the same time, that really didn’t sit right with me, the hypocrisy of it.”
Mason Mount is the latest holder of the number following his £60million transfer from Chelsea.
However, life at United has not started great for the 24-year-old.
He struggled to make an impact in the opening game against Wolves before United were overrun in a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.
And he has since picked up an injury which saw him miss out on Gareth Southgate‘s latest England squad, with Mount not set to return until after the break concludes.
Regardless, Christina has also revealed the global reach of United’s fanbase.
She added: “I was walking down the street in a United shirt after winning our last league title and this man came running out of nowhere, threw me over his shoulder and said I needed to celebrate with them.
“He proceeded to carry me to a bar packed with fellow United supporters celebrating the title.
“This was ten years ago and I have been part of the community since, watching games with them, going on trips to Manchester.”
Erik ten Hag‘s side are next in action against Arsenal on Sunday.
They will also find out their fate for the Champions League group stage wit the draw commencing this evening.
