Brilliant footage emerges of Cristiano Jr scoring for Man Utd U12 and going full 'SIU' mode

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr certainly has a good role model when it comes to football.

The eldest son of arguably the greatest footballer to ever walk the earth, Cristiano Jr seems to be enjoying the beautiful game despite still being far too young to be thinking about a professional career.

Any slither of information that emerges about the 11-year-old’s endeavours in football tends to make international headlines with fans wondering whether or not he will follow in his father’s footsteps.

Naturally, that is only going to make the Old Trafford faithful wonder that if the day will come that another Ronaldo brings them to the feet playing the game that we all know and love.

Cristiano Jr is part of a United cohort playing at the MIC Cup, which is an international youth football tournament that brings some of the world’s best academies to the Costa Brava every Easter.
