Kai Rooney is starting to make heads turn with his growth in Man United’s youth academy as he aims to replicate the heroics of Wayne Rooney.
The 14-year-old is currently playing at the youth level, but appears to have developed quite a few traits in his playing style.
A recent clip has started going viral in which Rooney Jr can be seen boasting his skills. The left-footed forward can be seen finishing off moves, although he's a left-footer.
Kai, who scored 56 goals in the 2021-22 season with Man United’s under-12 side, is starting to earn a lot of praise from the fans who reacted on Twitter.
Frank: “Can see Kai Rooney being a baller just like his dad..”
Rommy: “Being this good at this age. Having a legendary goal scorer as your father. Being able to afford a top tier personal trainer. He’s going places.”
Bestley: “Might be the happiest man on earth when I watch another human named Rooney score for this club. If he’s one tenth of the player his Dad was then he will be one of the best we’ve had in a while.”
Siavashn’t: “Getting to see another worldclass Rooney every week will definitely make my 30s exciting.”
Steph: “La Carrington you are the only shining light in this cold club.”
