Cristiano Ronaldo ’s mum has predicted her son and 12-year-old grandson Cristianinho will end up playing together at her beloved Sporting Lisbon.
Dolores Aveiro said it would be a “dream come true” to see them in the same team as the out-of-favour Manchester United striker ’s boyhood club. She told a Portuguese magazine: “Cristiano has to come back here. If it was up to me he’d be back already.
“I already told him: ‘Son, before I die I want to see you playing for Sporting again. It didn’t happen this year but perhaps it will next year. But if it’s not him it will be Cristianinho. At his age he plays better than his father. When he was 12 Cristiano didn’t have a trainer but today he’s his son’s teacher.”
