- THE BIGGER PICTUREHis oldest son has joined academy ranks in Spain, Italy, England and Saudi Arabia after displaying plenty of his own potential. Ronaldo Jr has inherited a useful habit of hitting the back of the net, while he boasts the kind of quick feet that were once showcased by his father when bursting onto the scene as a tricky winger with Sporting and Premier League giants United.
- Getty ImagesDID YOU KNOW?It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo Jr will become a professional in his own right, but he is certainly making all of the right noises at present. Fellow youngster Yahya Idrissi – who forms part of Chelsea’s academy system – has posted a video on social media of a stunning free-kick being registered during a light-hearted kickabout.
- WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?Ronaldo senior has previously said of his son’s chances of being a professional footballer: “I’m hard with him sometimes because he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta sometimes and I’m p*ssed with him. I fight with him when he eats chips and fries and everything, he knows I don’t like it.” While questions may have been asked of the teenager off the pitch in recent years, he looks to be progressing positively enough on it.
