Wayne Rooney’s son is following in his father’s footsteps by signing for Manchester United.

Kai, 11, was pictured alongside his dad and mum Coleen putting pen to paper on a contract at the Old Trafford club.

Wayne – who played for United from 2004 until 2017 – wrote on Instagram: “Proud day. Kai signing for Man Utd. Keep up the hard work son.”

Kai was also pictured holding up a United shirt with the number 10 on the back – the same number his dad wore.


Former England international Wayne is United’s all-time leading scorer with 253 goals from 559 appearances.
