Watch Cristiano Ronaldo Jr in action for Man Utd in video posted by proud Georgina Rodriguez as dad thrashed at Watford
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ proudly watched on as Cristiano Ronaldo Jr played for Manchester United’s youth team yesterday.
While his dad was getting thrashed 4-1 by Watford at Vicarage Road, 11-year-old Cristiano Jr was in action for the academy.
Georgina, 27, gave the trip south a miss in order to watch CR7’s eldest son in action.
Bursting with pride, the model posted a short video clip of the youngster in action.
She wrote ‘plan de sabado’, meaning ‘Saturday plan’ in English.
It’s not clear whether Cristiano Jr was on the winning team or not.
But he is a highly-rated young player.
Until his dad’s summer transfer, he had been playing for Juventus since 2018.

“He likes to watch Sporting’s games. I’ve already told him: ‘Son, before I die I want to see you return to Sporting.’
“Let’s see…”, he said, but if it isn’t [him], it’s Cristianinho!
“At his age, he plays better than Ronaldo. At the time, Ronaldo didn’t have a coach, but today Ronaldo is his son’s teacher.”
Yesterday wasn’t the first time that Georgina has been a cheerleader on the sidelines for Cristiano Jr.
Earlier this month, the pregnant beauty took Cristiano Jr’s three siblings along to catch one of his games.

“He’s fast and he’s driven. But this is nothing, it takes a lot of dedication.
“Sometimes when we’re at home I say ‘go to the treadmill to run a bit’.
“Then after the treadmill I say, ‘now go to the cold water to recover to do it tomorrow again’. And he says, ‘daddy, it’s so cold the water I don’t want to do it’. But I understand it.”
