Wayne Rooney watched on incognito as his son, Kai, made his first Old Trafford appearance for Manchester United. The Red Devils' Under-18s took on Derby in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup at the Theatre of Dreams on Friday night and claimed a 2-1 win to book their place in the next round. Darren Fletcher's side are one of the favourites to go the distance in the competition this season.

Arsenal are enjoying their best season in 22 years under Mikel Arteta, having established a seven-point lead at the Premier League summit while also winning all of their seven Champions League fixtures to top the league phase table. The Gunners also have one foot in the final of the Carabao Cup, and will be expected to reach the latter stages of the FA Cup.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney delivered a hilarious response when asked how the current Arsenal team would fare against one of the best sides assembled under Sir Alex Ferguson. The Red Devils outfit that won the Premier League and Champions League double in 2008 will go down in history as an all-time great side. And Rooney believes that the team he played in are streets ahead of Mikel Arteta's current one.

Coleen Rooney is said to have raised girlfriend concerns with son Kai, as the eldest child of Manchester United legend Wayne seeks to forge his own career as a footballer. The 16-year-old is considered to be a hot prospect, but has plenty of distractions to contend with. He has been linked with model Rosa Jackson, with “young love” considered to be a “dangerous” thing.

Wayne Rooney has stunned football supporters by revealing that he is deaf in his left ear. The former England captain, who is Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer, has returned to punditry duty since putting a troubled managerial career on hold. He is never shy of sharing an opinion, but does have special requests that need to be met before stepping in front of the camera.
