From Juventus to Manchester United: A closer look at Cristiano Jr.'s career
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (Image via Getty) Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos, son of Portuguese superstar and Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo is among the most exciting talents to look out for in world football. Primarily operating as a left-winger like his father, he can also be deployed on the right wing. He is a right-footed player. Born on June 17, 2010, the 15-year-old, who is coming up in terms of both footballing ability and popularity, recently went viral for a claim that Barcelona star Lamine Yamal 'has not won anything' in his career yet. While he did admit that Yamal is better than his father in terms of ability at the moment, he did argue Yamal's lack of trophies is a caveat. From playing for the youth teams of Juventus, Manchester United and now Al-Nassr, the teenager has more or less mirrored his father's career trajectory, albeit for their academies, U15 and youth teams. Here's a closer look at the young star's career trajectory. 1. Juventus Youth (2018/19 - 2021/22) Cristiano Jr. followed in the footsteps of his father as he made the move from Spanish giant Al-Nassr to Juventus following the latter's move from the 15-time Champions League winners in July 2018. After starting his career with the U9 side, he rose up the ranks to U11 by the time he left them in 2021/22. The young star created excitement in his first season with Juventus, where he reportedly scored 58 goals and assisted 18 times in a season as a 9-year-old. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Cristiano Jr. also scored four goals in his debut for the U9 side, as per reports. 2. Manchester United (2021/22 - 2022/23) As Ronaldo made the move from Juventus and returned to Manchester United, his son also followed suit. Playing for the Red Devils in their U12 and then U13 sides, the teenager got to share the pitch with the likes of Kai Rooney, son of the legendary Wayne Rooney. The teenager wore the No 7 like his father while with the Red Devils' team, with clips of him imitating his father's iconic 'siuuu' celebration also going viral. 3. Al-Nassr (2022/23) After Ronaldo left the Premier League giants in late 2022, he made the surprising call to move his career to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr. The Portuguese superstar is under contract with the team till 2027, and his son too, plays for their U15 side. He signed for the Al-Nassr U15 team on 1st January 2023. National team career Despite having both Portuguese and US citizenship, Cristiano Jr. has opted to represent Portugal at national level. The player was called up to represent the Portuguese U15 side back in May 2025, for which he made 4 appearances, scoring two goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. scores match-winning brace in Portugal U15's final triumph against Croatia
Image Source: Getty Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. , only 14 years old, took strides out of his father's long shadow to create his own narrative. He scored an important brace (his 11th and 12th goals) in the final of the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament , helping Portugal U15s from behind to a 3–2 win against Croatia. Wearing the revered number 7 shirt, the 14-year-old not only excels, he amazes the world of football with an early performance far beyond his age and certainly beyond his wildest dreams, announcing himself in his first final wearing the national colors and doing so in unforgettable style. The goals, the celebration, and the spotlight Cristiano Jr. sent himself on his way midway through the first half, when he controlled a through ball, took a touch, and lashed a shot into the top corner.

And then the 'Siuuu' — the leap he had seen his father make famous. Even a few Croatian players adopted the party, a sweet indication of the regard in which the Ronaldo name is held. But the magic wasn't over. With the score tied, 1-1, in the second half, Ronaldo Jr. displayed his instincts again, on this occasion with a fine run into the box and a perfectly timed header that put Portugal in the lead. Croatia equalised again, but Cabral's late winner made the difference. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It was, however, the brace from Cristiano Jr. that made the difference, awarding him with the Man of the Match award and unquestionably cementing his name in the history books of the tournament.
