Kai Rooney & Man Utd left stunned as Atlanta United U15s record shock 4-0 win over young Red Devils in Generation adidas Cup

Kai Rooney's Manchester United U15 side were thumped 4-0 by Atlanta United in the Generation adidas Cup on Saturday.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Rooney played in United's first New Generation Cup game against Atlanta and was unable to help his side avoid a 4-0 defeat to Atlanta United. Rooney plays primarily as a forward for the U15 side and has been exceptional since making the jump to the U15s, recently bagging a hat-trick and two assists in a 6-4 win over Everton.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
There were high hopes for United going into the season but a 4-0 defeat to begin the tournament is a dismal one. Rooney and his team-mates will have to pick themselves up, though, as they have two more group games to play. Atlanta, though, impressed, with Ivory Covington scoring twice.
DID YOU KNOW?
United's Under-15s feature more than one player with a famous father, as Rooney has a team-mate by the name of Jacey Carrick, the son of United legend and Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick. He has been in the academy since the age of six.
