Wayne Rooney son Kai scores four for Manchester United youth team in nine-goal thriller against Liverpool

The 11-year-old is looking to follow in the footsteps of his father at Old Trafford, with impressive progress being made in the academy ranks

Wayne Rooney’s son Kai is proving to be a chip off the old block, with the 11-year-old revealing that he scored all four goals for Manchester United’s U12s in their recent 5-4 defeat to Liverpool.

With his dad holding the honour of being the Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer, there are some sizeable boots for Rooney junior to fill at Old Trafford.

He is showing signs of heading in the right direction, with an ability to score goals clearly being passed down from one generation to the next.
