Cristiano Ronaldo is living happily after his sweet reunion with Manchester United. However, Old Trafford may not be the final destination in CR7’s career. Simply because he still has a “debt” to pay to his mother, Mrs. Dolores Aveiro.
“Ronaldo must return to Sporting, he will return here because of me. Cristiano loves watching Sporting matches. I once told him: ‘Son, before I die, I want to see you return to wear the Sporting shirt’. He replied: ‘Yes, let me see…’. If Ronaldo cannot fulfill his wish, Cristianinho (Ronaldo’s son) will do it,” Dolores shared in a televised conversation with comedian Guilherme Geirinhas.

According to Dolores, Cristiano Jr is even more talented than his father when he was the same age. “In the past, Ronaldo did not have a proper coach but now he can pass on his skills and experience to his son. Cristianinho once confided his wish to his father: ‘When we return to Lisbon, I want to play for Sporting’. Currently, both father and son play for MU but I hope one day I will see both of them wearing Sporting’s shirt. That is a beautiful dream.”
“Currently, the No. 7 shirt at Alvalade (Sporting Lisbon’s home ground) belongs to Tabata, but if Ronaldo returns, the No. 7 shirt will definitely belong to him. CR7 will make up for it with shirt sales like the crazy thing that just happened in Manchester. Before arriving at United, the media speculated about the possibility that my son would join Manchester City. However, he quickly reassured me: ‘Don’t worry about the rumors, Mom, because I’m going to Manchester United’. I immediately thought of the prospect of my son shining in the middle of a large stadium, with 75,000 fans singing Cristiano’s name. It was truly an emotional return,” Dolores dreamily said.
Dolores’s wish will certainly make MU fans a little sad. Simply because they want to see Ronaldo retire from his career at Old Trafford rather than witness another farewell. But whatever happens, Ronaldo’s departure will certainly have less tears and more laughter than more than a decade ago.
MU fans shouted “Siuuuuu” in unison when Ronaldo jumped up to celebrate.
