Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned forward for Manchester United, recently shared a shirtless photo on Instagram, accompanied by his son Cristiano Jr. Both father and son showcased their impressive abs in the picture. Ronaldo captioned the post, “Recovery time with my boy.” The photo quickly went viral, amassing over 11 million likes from Instagram users.
Cristiano Jr., who is just 11 years old, appears to be following in his father’s footsteps when it comes to fitness and training. In a recent display of admiration for his father, he replicated Ronaldo’s famous “Siu” celebration after scoring a goal for Manchester United in the Mediterranean International Cup.
A few months ago, Ronaldo also shared a picture of himself and his children relaxing in a jacuzzi to celebrate Father’s Day. In the caption, he expressed his happiness as a father, using hashtags like #prouddad, #blessed, and #love.
Ronaldo, now 37 years old, rejoined Manchester United before the start of the 2021-22 season. His transfer from Juventus, an Italian football club, generated significant attention. Initially, there were reports suggesting that he might join Manchester City, another club in Manchester. However, in a surprising turn of events, Ronaldo decided to reunite with his former club, Manchester United.
In the current season, Ronaldo has played 38 matches and scored 24 goals. Unfortunately, his efforts were not enough to end Manchester United’s trophy drought, and the team has not qualified for the next season’s Champions League.
In the ongoing English Premier League, Ronaldo has scored 18 goals in 30 matches. Manchester United currently sits in sixth place in the league standings, with 58 points from 37 matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion. Ronaldo participated in the match but failed to find the back of the net. He received a yellow card in the 45th minute for a late challenge on Brighton defender Lewis Dunk.
