'If it isn't him, it's Cristianinho!' - Ronaldo's mom reveals Sporting dream for 'better' prospect than own son

Dolores Aveiro has promised she would make someone in the family join her favourite Portuguese side

Cristiano Ronaldo's mother Dolores Aveiro has said that if the Manchester United star fails to sign with Sporting CP before retirement, his son Cristiano "Cristianinho" Ronaldo Jr will do so.

Aveiro is a huge Sporting fan who claims her wish before death is seeing a family member wear the green and white stripes once again.

She would be unfazed if it was Cristianinho, 11, was the person to fulfil her dream, as she thinks the boy is better than his father was at his current age.
