Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has pulled out his father’s iconic 'Siuuu' goal celebration as he continues to follow in his footsteps with Manchester United.
With his dad returning to Old Trafford last summer, Ronaldo Jr followed him in signing with United’s youth academy back in February. Since then, fans have been keeping a close eye on the 11-year-old’s progress.
Videos of the youngster pulling out all of the tricks in training has already shown he looks set to follow in his father’s footsteps. The trademark stepovers and shots from distance demonstrated just how Ronaldo Jr takes after his dad.

And, while in action for United’s Under-12s side this week, he showed yet another sign of that Ronaldo class as he pulled out his dad’s trademark celebration.
There was the usual sight of a Ronaldo on the scoresheet as United’s U12s took on EF Girones Sabat. The Reds made light work of the Spanish side, with Ronaldo Jr grabbing their fifth goal of the game.
And as he ran towards the corner flag in celebration, you could have easily been watching his father in action. The 11-year-old made his way to the corner of the pitch, before leaping in the air and producing the trademark Ronaldo spin, and of course accompanying it with the customary ‘siuuu’.
United fans will hope they get the chance to see Ronaldo Jr emulating the celebration for the club’s first team in a few years’ time. While Ronaldo Sr’s contract at Old Trafford runs until next year, there have been question marks over his future, which could also have an effect on his son’s location.
