Rooney's son scores 4 goals for Manchester United

Kai Rooney keeps making headlines by scoring 4 goals for Manchester United's youth squad, demonstrating remarkable skill and fueling aspirations to succeed his father at Old Trafford.

Kai Rooney is proving that he is on the same path his father once took, shining brightly with 4 goals against Norwich City U16, leaving a strong impression while representing Manchester United’s academy.

In the semi-final match of the Premier League Cup for the U16 category held last weekend, Kai Rooney delivered an outstanding performance, playing a key role in the youth team’s thrilling 6-4 victory over Norwich City. After the game, the 16-year-old forward excitedly posted a photo of the commemorative ball on Instagram, a reward for his hat-trick, expressing clear pride in his own performance.

Kai’s impressive form continues to strengthen his position within the youth development system at Old Trafford. Earlier, in January, Kai made a memorable debut at Old Trafford with the U18 Manchester United team facing Derby County. That match featured acting manager Michael Carrick, who witnessed Kai’s entrance amid chants of “Rooney, Rooney” from the stands, alongside his parents Wayne and Coleen Rooney.

Speaking about the young player, Michael Carrick emphasized the importance of youth competitions at Manchester United, viewing them as a special environment where talents experience pressure, ambition, and the club’s identity. On his part, Kai Rooney affirmed he does not want to live under his father's shadow. “I am my own person. I just focus on doing my best, improving every day, and not letting pressure affect me,” Kai shared.

According to The Sun, Kai Rooney has been offered a contract by Manchester United worth around £50,000 per year, with additional signing bonuses each season. Wayne Rooney also revealed a memorable moment from his son's debut, when Kai remarked, “the Old Trafford pitch really is huge.”

Wayne Rooney, the legend who scored 253 goals for Manchester United, expressed his pride watching his son progress step by step. Kai Rooney now continues to nurture hopes of following his father’s footsteps, gradually pursuing the dream of joining the Red Devils' first team.
