Like father like son: Premier League legend's 19-year-old offspring scores outrageous first two goals of his senior career that are VERY reminiscent of his dad. Can YOU guess who his father is?
Robin van Persie's son, Shaqueel, proved he is a chip off the old block as he bagged his first two goals of his professional career in exquisite fashion. His father, Manchester United legend Robin, is currently the manager of the Eredivisie side and handed his son his senior debut in November last year, during a Europa League defeat by Celtic. Shaqueel has largely made appearances from the substitutes' bench and was summoned by his father for Sunday's game at home to Sparta Rotterdam. In the 87th minute, Shaqueel launched himself into the air to meet a lofted hook into the box. 'I made that call as a coach, not as a dad, because we needed a goal,' the former Arsenal and Manchester United forward said when he introduced Shaqueel against Celtic.
