Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back on social media after his son was questioned for wearing both Nike and Adidas brands.
The younger Ronaldo was pictured alongside his grandmother Maria Dolores who shared the picture with her 2.6 million Instagram followers.
However, there were a number of comments that were critical of Cristiano Jr, who was sporting a Nike hoodie, shorts, Adidas socks and Adidas 'Yeezy' sliders.
In defence of his son, Ronaldo Sr commented on his mother's post: 'He wears what he wants. Not what you want.'
Ronaldo has long been associated with the Nike brand having first signed a sponsorship deal with them in 2003 when he first joined Manchester United.
In 2016, Ronaldo signed a massive 10-year-deal - in which he earns a whopping £147million per year - with the sporting brand and regularly posts Nike related content on his social media.
He has become the central figure behind the brand's football related campaigns. It means that the 37-year-old exclusively wears clothes and gear from Nike, which includes football boots, shirts and sweatshirts.
However, this coincides at Old Trafford where Manchester United have their kits made by Adidas. United signed a £750m deal with Adidas back in 2015 - the largest of its kind in the world in an agreement that will last until 2025.
Ronaldo's sponsorship deal with Nike is just one of several massive brands the Portuguese superstar is linked with.
His list of sponsorship deals includes huge names such as Armani, Tag Heuer, Herbalife and Unilever.
He re-joined Manchester United last summer but has endured a frustrating season with the club falling way off their biggest rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Jr is looking to follow in his dad's footsteps and joined Manchester United's academy back in February.
He has made an instant impact for the academy, scoring a number of goals and playing alongside Kai Rooney, the son of his dad's former team-mate Wayne.
The 12-year-old is the oldest of Ronaldo's children and was born in the United States back in 2010.
Ronaldo has three other children, twins Eva and Mateo and Alana Martina who is the youngest.
Back in October, Ronaldo confirmed that he and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez are expecting once again. In an Instagram post he confirmed that they are expecting twins.

to be honest. very proud of CR7 for defending his son ..and for those who are against him..you must be the worst father any son will have if you can't defend your own son any where...I never commented on Rooney's issue with CR7 because I didn't see anything sensible in what Rooney said cuz it pure hate just like SAHA have said to him... People hate CR7 because they just can't understand or believe that he is greater and better after all the stones they keep throwing at him to fail

For those that say Ronaldo is cheap for defending his son I think you need a reality check cause I don’t see the bad thing there I’d do the same if it was my son being picked on by stupid social media trolls and besides Messi fan boys and Ronaldo fan boys to me are not football fans. Y’all just come here make stupid comments and insults. The app is for football fans. People who actually have teams to support not people who don’t watch matches but watch players.
No player is bigger than any team football isn’t won by one individual it’s a team sport

Much love and respect dude. Exactly. Fan boys are just crazy. Nowadays u even have likes of maguire fanboys, greenwood fanboys etc. The club u support comes first then a player can be some sort of motivation for u. Not just finding every opportunity to banter

Certain people do were not taught at home when to stop. It's not everything you see you say. They should leave the young boy alone. Not as if Ronaldo junior has any sponsorship of his own.

CR7 is scoring goals on social media this year than on the pitch. He's becoming a social media type.
