Here's Proof Of Renato Sanches' Real Age

A couple of days ago, we reported that former Auxerre and Lens coach Guy Roux said that Portugal wonderkid Renato Sanches is older than 18-years - the age he claims to be.

Basically, Roux accused Sanches of lying about his age, claiming that he is actually '23 or 24' rather than 18.

It looks like Sanches is already taking action:

Roux said the following:

"Sanches says that he was 18 years of age, but I think we need to look at the past.

"The data is wrong.

His birth was officially registered years after his birth, so it is not correct in the registry. I think he is 23 or 24 years old. However, he is very good."

Now, a video has emerged online from 2010, as a 13-year-old Renato Sanches completes his first ever interview as a youth team player with Benfica.

In this clip, It is clear that Sanches is younger than 17/18 years old, the age he would have been if Roux's claims of him being '23 or 24' are true.

Here is 13-year-old Renato Sanches back in 2010:

That should clear things up, right?
