Cristiano Ronaldo Jr decided to copy his dad’s trademark ‘Siuuu’ celebration while playing for Manchester United‘s under-12s.
The 11-year-old notched the Red Devils fifth goal against EF Girones Sabat during a youth tournament in Spain.
Ronaldo prodded home a set piece from close range, before running towards the corner flag, where he jumped up in the air in delight.

While another commented: ‘Give him number 7.’
Cristiano Jr is looking to follow in his dad’s footsteps and joined Manchester United’s academy back in February – not long after his father made a sensational return to the club after 12 years away.
He has made an instant impact for the academy, scoring a number of goals and playing alongside Kai Rooney, the son of his dad’s former team-mate Wayne.

‘We’ll see if my son will become a great footballer,’ Cristiano Ronaldo said of his son in 2020. ‘He has potential. He is fast and dribbles well, but that is not enough.
‘I always tell him that it takes work and dedication to have success. I won’t pressure him to become a footballer, but if you ask me if I want him to, yes I would like it.
‘The most important thing is to become the best at whatever he does, whether it is as a footballer or a doctor.’
