Cristiano Ronaldo Jr and Kai Rooney making impact at Man Utd youth level

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney’s eldest sons, Kai and Cristiano Jr, have already made an impact for Manchester United at youth level this season.

Cristiano Jr officially joined United’s youth ranks last month after training with the club following his famous father’s emotional return to Old Trafford.

The 11-year-old had previously been on Juventus’s books and made headlines thanks to his eye for goal.

In 2019, it was reported that Cristiano Jr had scored 58 goals in 28 games in Juve’s youth setup.

His dad has doubts over whether his son will possess the hunger and dedication required to make it as a professional footballer, although the youngster appears keen to prove his father wrong and would love to be on the same pitch as his dad before he retires.

Ronaldo, per The Sun, said: “My son tells me, ‘Dad hold on a few more years – I want to play with you.’”
