Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Matic's sons have recreated their fathers' link-up play against Chelsea on Thursday night.
Matic played a delightful chipped pass for Ronaldo who powered a strike past Edouard Mendy to secure a point for United against Thomas Tuchel's side in midweek. Not to be outdone, Filip Matic and Cristiano Ronaldo Jr recreated the goal as the former played a lovely ball over to the latter who applied a finish Ronaldo Sr would have been proud of.
Both Filip and Cristiano ran towards the camera shouting 'Siu', the Portuguese ace's famous celebration. Both Ronaldo and Matic's sons play for the United academy and will be hoping to play at Old Trafford themselves one day.

Plenty of expectation has been pinned on Ronaldo Jr after his grandmother claimed that he was progressing faster than her son did at 11 years of age. Ronaldo has also claimed that his son is the 'future' after sharing training pictures of himself and Cristiano Jr.
Ronaldo and Matic will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Monday as United host Brentford. With United's hunt for a place in the top four seemingly over, a strong finish to the season is about as much as Ralf Rangnick can ask for as he prepares to step down from his role as interim boss.
