Premier League Club scouts Ronaldo Jr after incident Dad regrets

Published

on

A Premier League club once embroiled in a controversial moment with Cristiano Ronaldo is now keeping a close eye on the progress of his son, Cristiano Jr.

The 14-year-old, who is the eldest of Ronaldo’s five children, has been gaining attention for his promising talent on the pitch.

On Tuesday, May 13, Cristiano Jr. made his debut for Portugal’s Under-15 team during the Vlatko Markovic tournament in Croatia. Coming off the bench, he played a part in Portugal’s 4-1 victory over Japan.

Donning the iconic number seven shirt, a nod to his father’s legendary jersey, the young forward offered a glimpse of his potential in the brief time he was on the field. The match drew significant attention from European football scouts.

According to Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti, several top clubs had representatives in attendance, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim, Red Bull Salzburg, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta.

Tottenham Hotspur—currently Manchester United’s opponents in the Europa League final—were also reportedly present.

The connection between Ronaldo and Tottenham Hotspur adds an intriguing layer to the story. Back in November 2022, during his second stint at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch and stormed down the Old Trafford tunnel after being benched against Spurs.

The moment sparked headlines worldwide, and Ronaldo later admitted he regretted his reaction.

“Piers, I will be honest with you, it’s something that I regret to leave from the stadium,” Ronaldo told Piers Morgan during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored in 2022.

“Probably, or maybe no, I don’t know. It’s difficult to tell you 100 per cent but let’s say I regret, but in the same way I felt provoked by the coach. Not allowed for me, a coach to put me in three minutes in a game. Sorry, I’m not that kind of player. I know what I can give to teams.

“Okay, you don’t put me against Manchester City because of respect of your career, and you want to put me three minutes against Tottenham. It doesn’t make sense…

“I think he did it on purpose because, for example, in a national team, the other clubs, if the coach wants to put me five minutes, if someone injured or if they really need me, I will help. But in that way, I felt provoked not only because of that game, but before.”

Despite the past drama, the attention is now shifting toward Cristiano Jr. as he begins to carve out his own path in football.

Following his son’s debut, Ronaldo took to social media to celebrate the milestone, writing: “Congratulations on your debut for Portugal, son. Very proud of you.”

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer

Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.

The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.

In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.

The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.

Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.

Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider

Man City place Arsenal 'bottles' for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider

Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.

In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.

The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.

With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.

A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.

Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.

Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.

Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.

After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.

Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
