Oldham Athletic have signed Ronaldo. But fans of Manchester United fear not - the League One club have not snaffled their old boy from the mighty Real Madrid. The man in question is 16-year-old Ronaldo Brown who has joined the Latics after being released by Liverpool. Like his namesake, the teenager has explosive pace and plays on the wing. Ronaldo Brown (left), pictured on tour of the Nou Camp in Barcelona, has signed for Oldham Athletic . The 16-year-old  is named after Brazil's former striker Ronaldo, who is pictured scoring in the 2002 World Cup . But he is actually named after the original Brazilian Ronaldo, rather than Portugal star Cristiano. Football-mad mum Denise, 38, chose the name because of her love of the Brazil side - and added that Ronaldo has a twin brother called Rivaldo. Denise, from Fallowfield, Manchester, explained: 'I love football and the boys were born in 1998 - the year of the World Cup. I liked the Brazil side so I named them after Ronaldo and Rivaldo. 'They also have a younger sister called Trezeguet after the French player (David).' Long-suffering Oldham fans, whose team has remained in League One for 18 years, can look forward to one day seeing Ronaldo strutting his stuff at Boundary Park. An Oldham source joked: 'With a new stand about to open we thought we would make a marquee signing to mark the occasion.'
