Kai Rooney appears set to follow in his father Wayne 's famous footsteps following an astonishing season on the goalscoring front for Manchester United 's Under-12s.
After famously completing a move to United for a then club-record £27million from boyhood club Everton at the tender age of 18, Wayne went on to become the greatest goalscorer in the club's history, hitting 253 goals during a trophy-laden 13-year stint in Manchester. Rooney well-and-truly etched his name into the club's record books and now it appears his son is well-placed to emulate his feat.
Kai, 12, signed for United amid much fanfare back in December 2020, and the eldest son of the Red Devils legend hasn't disappointed since. Young Rooney enjoyed an incredible campaign in the season just gone with United's U12s, finishing the year with simply staggering numbers.
