Cristiano Ronaldo's son Cristiano Jr wants the family to return to Lisbon and for the duo to join Sporting CP – the club where it all began for the Portuguese superstar.
Ronaldo remains keen to depart Manchester United despite not getting his wish to exit Old Trafford this summer. His mother, Dolores Aveiro, has confirmed the 37-year-old’s exit plan while outlining his intentions for the remaining years of his career – with a clear family wish to return to Sporting, whom the player left in 2003 to join the Red Devils for the first time.
Cristiano Jr, aged 12, officially joined United's youth system earlier this year after he was pictured training with his dad during the Premier League's winter break. It is customary for children of footballers to join the youth ranks of their club should they wish to be involved in the sport.
