Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has left fans swooning after posting an adorable snap of himself and his baby son Cree.
The sporting ace logged into his official Instagram page to give fans an insight into his life as a new dad.
In the shot, Rio, 42, can be seen sat in a chair with the little one resting comfortably on his knee.
Both Rio and his son are dressed in matching pale brown outfits.
Keen to keep his son’s privacy, Rio’s hands are blocking Cree’s face.
While the newborn was wearing tiny white socks, Rio opted to go barefoot in a pair of personalised slip on slippers.

Rio captioned the post: “Father and son matching up day. 1st of many.”
He signed off the post with an eye-rolling emoji leading fans to wonder if the matching look had been his wife Kate’s idea.
Kate, 29, recently opened up about the reality of being a new mum.
Posting to her 1.4 million Instagram followers, the former TOWIE star admitted it’s been a stressful few weeks.

Kate wrote: “What a bubble this is… We are so obsessed with our little angel Cree.
“I just seem to stare at him for hours on end seeing the kids and him is literally what dreams are made of, feeling completely overwhelmed.
“I wanted to share this with you. This is me … and let me add this is a much better version of me than the last 10 days.
“After having an emergency c section, and a bit of a traumatic birth I’ve been completely wiped out.

“The happiness has been overwhelming but so have the tears and emotions, I’ve felt like I can’t do what I’m meant to be doing with Cree as I haven’t been able to change or feed him consistently which has had me feeling all types of guilt, for Cree, Rio & that I can’t be doing what I normally do for the kids.
“It’s a whirlwind I just wasn’t expecting… but at the same time the most perfect whirlwind.”
Kate went on to add that she feels luckier than ever to have found a family unit with Rio and the children.
She added: “What an amazing end to a pretty rubbish year.”
