Man Utd players’ feelings towards Jadon Sancho after latest Erik ten Hag spat<\/h3>\n

There were many raised eyebrows when Wayne Rooney and wife Coleen perched alongside son Kai while he signed his Manchester United academy contract in 2020. Many fans felt it was evidence of nepotism – the Red Devils signing the son of their greatest ever goalscorer was merely done for the name rather than the teenager\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n

But Kai appears to be proving those doubters wrong. He has huge ambitions to follow in his father\u2019s footsteps by playing in – and winning – the Premier League for United.<\/p>\n

His goalscoring record is spectacular, and no doubt due to his dad\u2019s advice. In June 2022, Kai revealed on Instagram revealed that the previous season had seen him score 56 goals and provide a further 28 assists.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, he said: “In 10 years, hopefully I will be playing in the Premier League for Man United. That\u2019s where I see myself but I\u2019ve got to make it happen with the hard work and everything behind the scenes.”<\/p>\n

Just like Rooney Snr, Kai is a prolific striker who says his main attribute is his ability to score goals. But the youngster also says he can play out wide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could play on the wing as well, but I\u2019m mainly a striker that scores goals,\u201d he said while playing for Manchester Grammar Schools at an international tournament earlier this year. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019ve got to keep doing to win the tournament. I\u2019m quite pleased with my performances. Obviously, I could have been better, but generally, I think that I have been quite good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kai has already signed a sponsorship deal with Puma. His Instagram, which is followed by 140,000 people, is laden with images featuring him clad in the sportswear brand\u2019s gear.<\/p>\n

But Wayne is keen to keep his feet on the ground. \u201cHe\u2019s enjoying it,\u201d Rooney Snr told The Athletic. \u201cThat\u2019s the most important thing. He\u2019s doing everything he can to try to have a career in football and not just him, my other children as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey love the game and my advice \u2014 to any children \u2014 is play to enjoy. There\u2019s that much pressure when you do get to the professional level and sometimes you forget why you\u2019re playing the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re playing because you love playing the game and you enjoy playing the game. As long as you\u2019re doing everything right to give yourself the best opportunity then you never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen how far Kai can go in the game. He certainly has a lot of work to do before he reaches his dad\u2019s level – but it would be a romantic story if he did indeed end up turning out for United’s first team one day.<\/p>\n
