Manchester United stars attempt celebration craze taking over football as Jesse Lingard films them

Manchester United stars have bought into the new celebration craze sweeping the football world after they were filmed attempting the twisted hand movement popularised by Dele Alli.

It follows claims on Wednesday that United midfielder Lingard actually created the hand gesture celebration and that it was copied by Alli after he scored against Newcastle at the weekend.

Alli's celebration was noticed by the football world and many stars took to Instagram to show their own success and struggles at attempting it.
