WAYNE ROONEY’S son Kai shone bright as he led Manchester United’s youth side to cup glory with a wondergoal.
Kai, 14, is following in his legendary dad’s footsteps at United and proved he means business during Sunday’s Albert Phelan National Cup final against Millwall.
The youngster helped the Red Devils’ Under-14s beat the Lions 2-0 with a sublime goal before Edson DeJonge-Seiros sealed the win.
Rooney Jr opened the scoring with a stunning half-volleyed chip that looped the Millwall goalkeeper and nestled into the net.
That marked Kai’s eighth goal in six cup games with the Manchester giants’ youth team.
The forward took to social media where he shared pics from the team’s celebrations on the same day that saw rivals Manchester City becoming Premier League champions for the fourth year in a row.
