Wayne Rooney, the legend of Manchester United, is the father of Kai Rooney.

He is a member of the Manchester United youth teams as well.

He has been the subject of much discussion, and many supporters are thrilled by his abilities.

Kai Rooney scored 56 goals and contributed 28 assists for Manchester United’s U12 team during the 2021–2022 campaign.

He then played with the U14s in the 2022–2023 season, further impressing coaches.

He participated in eight games for the U14s in the 2023–2024 season, tallying eight goals and providing six assists.

He has participated in a number of U19 and U17 games.

Rooney has been playing well for the U16s in recent years.

And due to his great performances, he made his U18 debut last week against Everton U18.

And Kai Rooney could’ve broken yet another record that not even his father had broken.

Kai Rooney had the potential to be Manchester United’s youngest ever goalscorer for the U18s.

This was broken by his fellow teammate JJ Gabriel.

JJ Gabriel scored two goals today against Middlesbrough U18s in a 5-0 win which Kai Rooney also featured in.

Wayne Rooney signed for Manchester United in late August 2004 for a fee of around £27 million, making him the most expensive teenager in world football at the time.

The highly sought-after England star had submitted a transfer request from Everton, and after negotiations between Manchester United, Everton, and a strong rival interest from Newcastle United, a deal was finally struck for him to join the Old Trafford club.

As such, he didn’t play for the U18s at all during his tenure.

This allowed his son Kai Rooney to break a new record.

However, his son still has many years ahead of him being only 15 and for sure will break many records.
