Cristiano Ronaldo’s Son Unveiled as Man United Player
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has been unveiled as a Manchester United player, months after joining the club.
The 11-year-old has been playing for the academy at the club this season since his dad made a sensational return to Old Trafford Images doing rounds on social media show the youngster holding up a shirt bearing his dad’s iconic number 7.
Manchester United seem to have officially unveiled Cristiano Jnr, who now joins his father as a Red Devils at the Old Trafford club.
This comes only months after moving into the Manchester United academy, a move which happened when Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined the Red Devils from Juventus.
The announcement was made rather inadvertently by youngster Gabriel, who was sharing his own news that he had signed for the club officially.
Cristiano Jnr is now set to join the Under-12 side, which also features Nemanja Matic’s son. Previously, Cristiano’s son showcased his potential while playing for Juventus’ youth side.
He made his debut on his ninth birthday where he sensationally bagged four goals and later got on the score sheet seven times in a game against CS Maritimo later on in the season.
