Ronaldo's future remains questionable.

Her son Cristiano Ronaldo and her grandson Cristianinho, who is 12 years old, will end up playing together at Sporting Lisbon, according to the prediction made by Cristiano Ronaldo's mother.

Dolores Aveiro has stated that it would be a "dream come true" for them to be able to play for the same team as the hometown club of the underappreciated striker for Manchester United. She stated in an interview with a Portuguese magazine, "Cristiano needs to return here. If it were up to me, he'd have have returned by now.

"I have already told him, 'Son, before I die, I want to see you playing for Sporting again.'" This year it did not take place, but perhaps it will the following year. But if it’s not him it will be Cristianinho. He is already a greater player than his father was at his age. When Cristiano was 12 years old, he did not have a coach, but now he is the one who instructs his own son.

In an interview with Nova Gente, the Madeira-based matriarch, who is 67 years old, insisted that Manchester United academy player Cristianinho was a "guaranteed" future signing for Sporting. She said: "He's already said, 'Dad when we go to live in Lisbon I want to play for Sporting.'" Cristianinho is currently a member of Manchester United. My ideal scenario would involve me witnessing the two of them performing at the club together.

Dolores, a supporter of Sporting Lisbon, has made no secret of the fact that she hopes her son, who is now 37 years old and a star at Old Trafford, will one day play for the Portuguese top-flight team he left when he was a teenager in order to pursue a career at the English Premier League club.

At the end of the previous year, she was successful in elevating a Sporting Lisbon gift to the top of the heap of presents that were placed under her son's gift-laden Christmas tree.

Sporting Lisbon was Cristiano Ronaldo's first club.

Sharp-eyed After a green bag with the club's initials on it appeared center stage in a photo the footballer and his family used to wish his millions of Instagram fans a "Merry Christmas," sporting fans congratulated her on her dexterity. The photo was used by the footballer to wish his millions of Instagram fans a "Merry Christmas."

The mother of four was among the extended family members who uploaded the same photo to their respective social media accounts.

Dolores admitted on the podcast ADN de Leao of Sporting Lisbon in September of the previous year that she had asked her son, a professional footballer, to return to the club where he had begun his senior career before signing for Manchester United in 2003 at the age of just 18.

Two months later, she cheekily reposted a photo to her Instagram Story of her celebrating Sporting Lisbon's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and wrote "Only you needed" in what appeared to be a message to the Manchester United striker. The photo showed her celebrating the Portuguese club's victory in the competition.

Despite the fact that Cristiano's current two-year contract won't expire until the end of the current campaign, the player has decided to extend his stay at Old Trafford until at least January after his attempts to leave Manchester United and secure a spot in the Champions League were unsuccessful.

During the height of the widespread speculation regarding his future this past summer, it has been reported that he investigated the possibility of signing with Sporting Lisbon.
