However, there are certainly clear signs that Ronaldo Jnr is picking up some of the finer points of his old man’s outstanding prowess with a football.

The seven-year-old took the opportunity to show off to Ronaldo’s old Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand when he visited the family home in the Spanish capital, producing a backheel flick and a driven penalty his dad would be proud of.

He even tried his luck at Ronaldo Snr’s famous free-kick style, after taking some pointers from the man himself.

Ferdinand, who recently announced plans to try his luck in professional boxing, even took on the young man in a press-up contest after failing to keep out his spot-kick.
