Cristiano Ronaldo Jr “has followed his father out of Manchester United and re-signed to Real Madrid’s academy”, according to journalist Edu Cornago.

The 12-year-old has played for the youth side of whichever club his dad is at.

He represented Real and Juventus before United, following Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford last season.

Ronaldo’s contract was ripped up by the Red Devils in November, and his son has also moved on.

Cornago reports that Ronaldo Jr. is back at the Real Madrid academy, a place where he scored more than 50 goals in 20 games in his first stint.

It came after Ronaldo briefly trained with the La Liga giants earlier this month amid speculation he could join Al Nassr in a stunning £173 million-a-year deal.

Cristiano Jr. was born in San Diego in 2010 and is nicknamed "Cristianinho" or "Little Cristiano."
