WAYNE ROONEY’s son Kai was snapped sitting inside the Man United dressing room before their derby day victory.
The 13-year-old is looking to follow in his dad’s footsteps and enjoy a long, decorated career in football.
He’s on the right tracks as well with the young star in United youth sides as he looks to make it in the big time.
But as he waits for his moment to follow in his father’s footsteps, Kai is still soaking in all that Old Trafford has to offer.
He took to Instagram to reveal he was sat in the United home dressing room before their lunchtime clash with Manchester City.
Wearing a big blue jacket, the teen has a grin as he sits in United’s elegant changing room.

In another picture he is joined by 16-year-old twins Tyler and Jack Fletcher, the sons of former Man United midfielder Darren Fletcher, who is now a technical director at the club.
Tyler and Jack were set to sign for City before Christmas despite their dad’s United links, but any potential deal has not yet been confirmed.

He reportedly struck 56 goals and notched up 28 assists in the U12 team last season.
Kai’s firepower could one day be a useful tool for United but for now Erik ten Hag’s team appear to have all they need.
The Red Devils made it nine consecutive wins yesterday as they came from behind to beat rivals Man City – and deal a heavy blow to Pep Guardiola’s title ambitions.
United move only a point behind City and may now count themselves in the Premier League hunt after their astonishing run of form.
The win yesterday saw Marcus Rashford notch up yet another goal in his hot vein of form as he netted the winner.
But Rashford’s contribution to the 189th Manchester derby will likely be better remembered for his role in the controversial equaliser.
The England striker was offside when the ball was played through to him but did not touch it, instead staying near the ball before it reached Bruno Fernandes.
The midfielder then smashed home to make it 1-1 with City left incensed when the referee and the VAR failed to overturn the goal.
