Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has shown fans that his son Shaqueel has football skills of his own after he pulled off a scorpion kick in his back garden.

The Dutch international, who has been out of action for almost eight weeks with injuries, uploaded a video of the youngster to Instagram.

Alongside the video, Van Persie wrote: "Great trick shot by Shaqueel! GOOOOOOALLLLLL Yessssssss lovely assist though."
