The young soccer player played for the Juventus Football Academy but transferred to the Red Devils after his father returned to Old Trafford in a $22 million transfer in August 2021. Ronaldo Jr. joined the Manchester United football academy, alongside Wayne Rooney’s son, Kai, and Nemanja Matic’s son. During the summer transfer in 2021, he joined the English club’s Under-12 squad. Due to his fallout with Manchester united, Ronaldo terminated his contract with the club in 2022.
