Kai Rooney has been banned from wearing his own boots for Manchester United's youth team - and his father Wayne approves of the rule.

The 16-year-old joined United's academy aged 11 and is hoping to emulate his dad by one day starring for the first team.

That might not be so distant a prospect considering he started this season playing for the under-19s - three age groups up - and has been making waves with his goalscoring feats.

He signed a deal with Puma aged 12 - the kind of opportunity that knocks when you're a football legend's son - but he can't wear their boots.
