Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time and has broken most records that there are to be broken. However, will his son continue in his father’s footsteps? If Ronaldo’s mom, Dolores Aveiro, is to be believed, Ronaldo Jr. is already better than his father. She revealed that Ronaldo consistently trains and works out with his son. “Cristianinho” has the best teacher anyone could have asked for. Aveiro revealed that she wants Ronaldo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cristiano-ronaldo/] to play for Sporting Lisbon again in an interview with the ADN de Leao podcast. However, he’s not the only Ronaldo that could play for the Portuguese club. DOLORES AVEIRO WANTS TO SEE HER GRANDSON PLAY FOR SPORTING LISBON Aveiro has high hopes for her grandson and wants to see him play for Sporting Clube de Lisbon, like his father. Ronaldo started his professional career at Sporting before moving to Manchester United in 2003. She said that while Cristiano did not give her a concrete answer, his son could play for the club too. “‘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,” Aveiro revealed. [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10016101/Cristiano-Ronaldos-mother-claims-son-BETTER-Man-United-star-age.html] CRISTIANO RONALDO AND HIS FORM AT MANCHESTER UNITED It’s much harder to see Cristiano Ronaldo back at Sporting Lisbon because of how exceptional the Portuguese forward still is. He has scored four goals in two Premier League and one Champions League appearance and has taken this team to another level. If he is still capable of playing at the top level of European football, it seems unlikely that he would take a step back and play in the Portuguese League. The decision is obviously for Ronaldo himself to make; but with the way he has taken care of his body and his movement in the opposition penalty area, it’s possible to see him playing into his 40s. Maybe then, a return to Sporting Lisbon will be on the cards for the entire family.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. going to be better than his father? His grandmother
believes he's already doing better because of his teacher.

<strong><em>Manchester United</em></strong>

<strong>Brief History</strong>

Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United.

The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League.

From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the 'Busby Babes'. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again.

Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s.

Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo: </strong><strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his 'greatest of all time' status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d'Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand.

While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, and Juventus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo's 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark.

The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's early life and his family</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo was born to JosÃ© Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo, and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star.

Ronaldo only completed his schooling upto the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.

<div class="jsx-181688575 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-181688575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Manchester-United.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP's youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career</h2>
Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. In September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club's widely accepted golden era.

Ronaldo's tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of â‚¬94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time.

Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo's second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7's foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo's achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal's national team</h2>
Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.

<p id="node---44368-figcap">via Imago</p>

Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups. He has the peculiar record of being the oldest player to score at a FIFA World Cup. He also holds the record for scoring against the most national teams, throughout his career.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's club career and various achievements</h2>

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo: Career, Achievements, Net Worth in 2024, and Personal Life Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his &#8216;greatest of all time&#8217; status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d&#8217;Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand. While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s net worth 2024 Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo&#8217;s 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark. The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike. Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market. Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s early life and his family Cristiano Ronaldo was born to JosÃ© Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo, and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star. Ronaldo only completed his schooling upto the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.  via Imago Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP&#8217;s youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date. Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. In September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club&#8217;s widely accepted golden era. Ronaldo&#8217;s tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records.

However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of â‚¬94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time. Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo&#8217;s second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7&#8217;s foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League. While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo&#8217;s achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind.

He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.  via Imago Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups.
