The youngster is already showing glimpses of promise having starred for Juve's academy before he made a switch to Man United.

According to Ronaldo, his son has already made clear his dream to play with him on the pitch before he retires.

"My son tells me, 'Dad hold on a few more years - I want to play with you," Ronaldo was quoted saying at one time.

Only recently the Portuguese talisman suggested they could play together when he shared a photo of him training with Jr.

He captioned the post: "Present and future."

When will Cristiano Ronaldo retire?

Despite suggestions calling on Ronaldo to retire, the former Real Madrid superstar is unlikely to hang his boots soon.

The Portugal international has previously revealed his intent to continue playing at a high level until his 40s.

"I want to find out if I'm going to play until I'm 40, 41, or 42, but the most important thing is that my daily goal is to enjoy the moment," Ronaldo divulged to ESPN.
