Rhain Davis was in the Trafford Centre with his parents when he began to realise what was happening.
Davis walked past someone with a newspaper and there was his nine-year-old face, pictured on the front page with the headline "ROO KID ON THE BLOCK," in bold capitals. The newspaper was comparing Davis to Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.
