VIDEO: Just like Wayne! Kai Rooney scores stunning goal for Man Utd youth team as he channels brute force & finishing ability of record-breaking father

At 15 years of age, Kai is hoping to follow in illustrious footsteps at Old Trafford. He is showing plenty of potential, with the teenager working hard behind the scenes on maximising his ability.

He linked up with United in 2020 and hit 56 goals during his first full season with the Red Devils. His finishing skills have been showcased on social media, with another fearsome forward being forged in the Rooney household.

Kai’s latest outing at U17 level saw him in action against Real Sociedad. He found the target in that contest, displaying an impressive touch, the same brute force that his father once boasted and an unerring eye for goal as he calmly beat the goalkeeper from a tight angle.

United lost the game in question 5-1, but Rooney Jr put in another lively performance. If he continues on this path, then a senior debut may not be too far off - despite mother Coleen admitting that Kai can find it difficult at times to handle the attention that being a Rooney brings.

Wayne, who became United’s all-time leading scorer when registering 253 goals for the Premier League giants, is able to monitor his son’s progress at present as another enforced break from management is being taken in on the back of a forgettable stint at Plymouth.
