Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has embarrassed many defenders during his career and he seems to have taught his son a few of his tricks.

After humiliating John O’Shea in a pre-season friendly, Ronaldo left Sporting Lisbon and made a permanent move to United in 2003.

The winger became famous for his incredible repertoire of skills and was often referred to as a show pony during his formative years at Old Trafford.

“He appeared at the main entrance to Carrington and I remember seeing him thinking ‘who is this kid? because his equipment was terrible,” said former United youth player Eddie Johnson The broken metatarsal.

“He was wearing a terrible turtleneck and very tight faded jeans. Someone says it’s Ronaldo, the new signing, then we go out to practice.

“I was still quite young, but I was training with the first team and we did the 5v2 warm-up like we did every day, and he made the boldest move and put it between the legs of one of the other young guys.

“It had confused him so much that he crossed his feet together and ended up landing on his stomach. Everyone was looking around saying ‘there’s a player here’ so from that day on it was pretty exciting.

The 37-year-old has since developed into a ruthless striker, who has scored over 800 career goals at club and international level.

But Cristiano Ronaldo Jr apparently inherited his father’s dribbling ability and goalscoring instinct. The teenager, who currently plays for United’s academy, recently scored two goals in two Mediterranean Internet Cup games.

In those two games, he was also able to get past a few defenders with his brilliant footwork and close control.
