The 16-year-old eldest son of Wayne Rooney scored four goals in United's 6-0 win at Burnley, with a left-foot strike, a penalty, a header and a right-foot finish.
Kai Rooney, the eldest son of Wayne Rooney, scored a four-goal haul for Manchester United's Under-18s in the 6-0 win at Burnley. Aged just 16, the striker wearing the number 9 shirt opened the scoring with a left-foot effort inside the box, converted a penalty in the second half, headed in a corner and completed the tally with a right-foot finish after beating a defender.
According to RMC Sport, it is not his first eye-catching display: on 17 October he scored the only goal of his side in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, and on 24 October he played over an hour and set up a goal in the 6-3 win over Liverpool. United's Under-18s are second in the table.
Fans have been joking about seeing him in the first team. The senior side's next opponent is Chelsea, and the Red Devils sit 16th with just seven points after eight matchdays.
