Kai Rooney branded 'Man Utd's future' after he shows hallmarks of father Wayne

Kai Rooney has got Manchester United fans buzzing with excitement after sharing photos of him playing for the club’s under-13s side.

Kai, who is the eldest of United legend Wayne Rooney’s four sons, has been playing in the club’s academy since signing for United back in December 2020. Like his dad, he plays as a striker and has been turning heads with his goalscoring exploits while helping his side win the Under-13s National Cup North trophy earlier this year.

The youngster netted 56 times and recorded 28 assists last season and already appears to have some of the traits of his father. Kai has shared some snaps from a recent United under-13s game on Instagram – and some of his 106,000 followers have noticed similarities with Wayne.
