If you enjoy things being blown massively out of proportion, then you’ll agree that Shaqueel van Persie is definitely one to watch for the future judging by this clip.

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie uploaded a video to his official Instagram today showing his seven-year-old son score an impressive scorpion kick golazo in his back garden.

After finding the net with the acrobatic strike, Shaqueel showed off his immaculate showboating skills, by busting a move on the grass.

Van Persie let out an almighty roar after the ball hit the back of the net, signifying his pride in his son. However, he made sure to point out in the Instagram post that it was really his assist that made the goal.
