Wayne Rooney’s son Kai signs for Man Utd
LONDON, Dec 18, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Wayne Rooney’s son Kai has followed in his
father’s footsteps by signing for Manchester United.
United’s record goalscorer posted a picture on social media of the 11-year-
old, the oldest of Rooney’s four sons, signing a contract at his father’s
former club.
Rooney accompanied the image with the caption: “Proud day. Kai signing for
@manchesterunited. Keep up the hard work son.”
Rooney, 38, now in interim charge of Championship club Derby, joined United
from Everton in 2004 as a teenager.
The former England striker had a glittering 13-year career at Old Trafford,
scoring 253 times in 559 appearances and breaking Bobby Charlton’s long-
standing goals record in January 2017.
Coleen Rooney, Wayne Rooney’s wife, wrote on Instagram: “Special night…..
congratulations Kai. I love you and I am so proud of you. Keep trying your
best”.
