He broke his leg when he was 16 and switched to a career in finance though looks like he still plays at non-league level.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I'd say that, if anything, his dad's example would have rubbed off on him, but Ronnie grew up dirt-poor on Madeira whereas junior has known nothing but the good life.
Yeah seems like a bright lad. Apparently he had an agreement with Mike Phelan to go back and train in the A-League until he returned to carry our cones.

Beckham was a very hard worker, are his sons cut from the same cloth?
Being born into huge wealth and not needing to fight for anything usually doesn't make them push that extra 10% needed.
Perhaps Jr will be an exception though.
Hope we inserted a sell-on fee.
It doesn't usually happen that way does it? As my old gran used to say, anything worth having is worth working for.
There's no coincidence a lot of the top footballers are born into very poor conditions and work their way up right?
I know that's not a hard rule, but a lot of motivation comes from wanting to change theirs's and their families lives economically.
Beckham had his sons in the top football academies in the world, but they preferred to be socialites instead.
Wondering about this as well.
What hasn't the Club learned putting in effect 10 and 11 year old primary school children in the glare of the media. Psychological damage on children at those ages is untold of they end up not playing and odds would say that's hugely unlikely. Given Greenwood's recent behaviour im amazed at the club and its traditions that we have allowed this. Typical of our decline.
Two months old? Surely that's not true?
Don't think the club did that, I think it was done in Australia prior to him joining.
The club never put him in the glare of the media, nor do they put any 10 or 11 year old in the glare of the media. In fact, Rhain has specifically stated the club and coaches did well to shield him from the attention.
The club don't control Cristiano's girlfriend's instagram. Nor did they control Rhain's father's youtube publishing Rhain's highlights which created the media story around him. All attention on him disappeared within a year of joining United, showing they did nothing to put him in the media.
Given you're hate for everything the club and academy do and love of all things City, I'm amazed you don't just go support them. Typical of your posts.
Wenger tried to sign him a couple of months before we managed to secure him.
I'd start him against Brighton
Would probably do a good job since his not overthinking every fecking thing.
Not sure this is true.
I can't remember any 10/11 year old player that United have put in front of 'the glare of the media' for any reason.
Scored a nice goal today...

Did his shirt number disappear?
SIUUU
Kids simply love to siu!
One kid is rocking the shades.
Son of Ronaldo > son of Messi?
If Sr leaves, I'm guessing he'd take Jr with him?

That's Pogba Jr.
Is he any good or just goes on due to his father's name?
They look so happy for him, lovely celebration.
Would be a bit strange if he didn’t!If Sr leaves, I'm guessing he'd take Jr with him?
Karna is still here, after Ole's departure from the club, so I don't see why the same couldn't happen with Ronaldo jnr.
Yeah, but Karna is 19 and Jr is only 11. I think he’s going with his parents!
Fair point, we shall see what happens.
Edgar Davids Jnr
Kai won’t go anywhere at leastIf Sr leaves, I'm guessing he'd take Jr with him?

Joseph O'Cearuill jr., son of former Arsenal academy graduate of the same name. Looks a proper baller to me
dinger! Good man Kai!
Can we stop this over hyping of what are in effect 11 year old kids! Atletico Madrid beat them 5 nil and if you watch on youtube theres quite a difference. Just leave them alone and come back and lets see how they look at 18!

He’s coming to Sporting anyways guys
Ronaldo’s mom already started that she wants JR to go to Sporting.If Sr leaves, I'm guessing he'd take Jr with him?
It’s thr smarter move to develop his talents as well.
Ricardo Quaresmas son is also at the academy.
I guess depending on where Ronaldo is playing/living after retirement will determine what club's academy Jr. is playing at.
If Sr leaves, I'm guessing he'd take Jr with him?
Yes that's why you don't get interested in any son of a current player as they will never be here long enough
