You might remember about three months ago that footage emerged of Robin van Persie playing football with kids on the streets of Manchester.

Well now we know why.

The Manchester United striker was actually filming with his son Shaqueel for a three-part series of BT Sport adverts entitled “Like Father, Like Son.”

This clip shows the Dutchman teaching the seven-year old some of RvP’s favourite skills including step-overs and drag backs.

And SvP, who has spent time with the Manchester City looks like he is no slouch with the ball at his feet.
