VIDEO: Future Man Utd star? Kai Rooney hits top bin penalties & pitch-long crossbar challenge in another hint at treading same path as record-breaking father Wayne

Rooney junior has been catching the eye in the Red Devils’ famed academy system. Cut from the same cloth as his famous dad, the 14-year-old has been showcasing his talents as a fearsome frontman. He has already won trophies at youth level, while registering an impressive haul of goals.

Kai also boasts a strong work ethic, with the youngster aware of the need to keep improving his game. He is putting the hours in away from the training pitch, with Rooney sharpening the same skill set that once made Wayne such a force to be reckoned with.

The latest video featuring Kai’s finishing skills shows him firing shots from distance into the back of the net with both feet. He also crashes a number of penalties in the top and bottom corners, before finishing the routine with a successful attempt in a pitch-long crossbar challenge.

Wayne Rooney – who is returning to management in 2024-25 at Championship side Plymouth – is the all-time leading goalscorer at Manchester United. Through 559 appearances for the Premier League giants, the ex-England captain scored 253 goals.
