The 11-year-old has been playing with the Red Devils academy since Ronaldo Snr rejoined the club last summer.
And now the youngster has been given his dad’s iconic No. 7 shirt.
Fellow youngster Gabriel, who also signed and announced the move on Instagram, said: “Delighted to finally have my signing day done, even better to have mine with teammate @cristiano JR.”
Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo’s girlfriend, also shared the news on Instagram.
She wrote: “Pursuing our dreams together. Mom loves you.”
Ronaldo Jr was not alive to see his father’s first spell at Manchester United, but has followed the forward in his various career ventures.
The kid trained with the Juventus youth team during Ronaldo’s time in Italy as well.
