Congratulation, he is Under 13!
Nicknamed 'The Cobra'
Seems our, we need to get the next Rooney prayers have been answered
That’s pretty cool. Interesting that he still plays for our youth team - does Rooney still live around Manchester and travel to Derby?

He’ll be making his debut by the time he’s 15.
Killer instinct or massive ears?
Just spits a lot
Ladies and gentlemen. 15 year old Kai Rooney!

Would be great if he became a star for us one day.

Better than Wayne Rooney.
Imagine another prime, force of nature, Rooney in the team.
God I miss his old man in his pomp, absolute beast.
God I miss his old man in his pomp, absolute beast.
Imagine setting out on a path in football with a dad who achieved that much!
It's like some championship manager re-generation of names job.Imagine another prime, force of nature, Rooney in the team.
God I miss his old man in his pomp, absolute beast.
There was another Rooney who did alright for us.
The story goes that United first learned of Rooney when he scored something like 12 goals in a game for Everton against United at a similar age to Kai now.
I was thinking about this with Schmeichel. How many Dad-Son combos where both are relatively successful?
Frank Lampard / his Dad was one.
I don’t think Ian Wright/ SWP quite fits
Jordi Cruyff gets some stick, but he played for Barcelona and Man Utd which I think is pretty successful.
Just not to the impossible level of one of the best of all time!
There's a few others that pop up, like Barnes at Leicester is the son of a player. Though not sure he got above lower league fare.
Maldini probably the biggest example
Maldini.
It's rare as feck.
Remember that Business Insider article a couple of years ago, that stated, that the chance of playing in the PL for the 1,5 million players who are playing organized youth football in England is a mere 0,012%. Sure, being a descendent of a sporting legend will help a bit when it comes to networking, understanding of training, and diet, but genetics can't just be reduced to "well his dad was good, why isn't he then?".
Blind and Kluivert also come to mind.
Also Thiago's dad, whatever his name was
Also Thiago's dad, whatever his name was
I listened to the United podcast interview and he said he commutes to Derby each day. I’m not sure if that’s still the case as it was about six months ago.
I think Kai needs the following for people to remember the name.
- Ten percent luck
- Twenty percent skill
- Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
- Five percent pleasure
- Fifty percent pain
- And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Thuram at Gladbach
Fair enough. I guess the commute isn’t that long, and when you’re as rich as Rooney it’s not really a cost issue.
The odds are stacked but would love to see him make it.
Was he actually good or did the other kids just give him the ball
He’s put in a transfer request as the club don’t match his ambition.
SAF is on the case

John had a great career.
Ashley Barnes is the son of John Barnes
