Well done
The Gothia Cup media team spoke with him in Gothenburg:
-------------------------Rooney--------------------------
--Rooney-----------Rooney-------------Rooney--
----------------Fletcher--------Fletcher-------------
He was a guest on Thogden's Premier League predictions video. Not sure if it's smart of the family to let him get that much exposure and not sure if it's responsible from Thogden to have a 13-year old guest but it is what it is.
Apologies bud, what’s that show about? Future stars, of sorts?
Yeah that is a bit odd but I suppose he’s probably used to fame considering his dad.
He probably kind of is but I still think it’s not a good decision for a 13-year old, especially a son of a famous footballer, to go on one of the most popular football YT channels. Maybe it’s me who’s weird, I don’t know.
There was a lot of attention on him in the Gothia cup where he was playing for his school.
I agree with you but it's something he has to get used to IMO. He seems to be talented and has his father's build. So hopefully he stays focused on his football.
Having attention on him when playing football is inevitable and something he has to deal with, yes. This was something that they chose to do, not something that an academy player has to deal with.
I know, I was agreeing with you.
Yeah I know, sorry if I came across as argumentative.
How does he have his father's build?
His father is borderline obese and he's this skinny kid that looks like any other teenager his age that's in good health. Who knows what he'll look like as he matures but you can't say he has his Dad's physique from even his playing days.
All I’m saying is, and I hope I’m not putting any undue pressure on a teenager, he better be twice the fecking player his dad was or what’s the point anymore?
He should be in the first team if Højlund isn't good enough
If he’s half the player his dad was he’d walk straight into this team.
He's 13...He is physically bigger than his age and you can tell he has good genetics like his dad. Wayne didn't take care of himself but he was very athletic and was built like a 23 year old at 16. I'm obviously not comparing Kai to present day Wayne.How does he have his father's build?

hi kai u want picking up from skool pal
2 goals and 2 assists against Leeds in his comeback after being out for months.
Get him in the first team along with the Russian kid
So he's actually decent? Would be incredible to see another Rooney in our first team.
If he has 50% the talent Wayne has when he's 18, he'll get a chance.

14 now, end of next year he’ll be banging in the winner against Arsenal.
He seems to be a fairly well rounded individual that definitely has traits of his dad in his game from the little ive seen. Has a quiet determination/confidence I like. Got a nice left foot too and if he matures physically will be one pushed ahead of schedule I think.
Wonder if he grew up supporting United or Everton
United I think. Seen in the shirts and grew up when we were good haha.
I’ve only ever seen him wearing a United shirt but then again his dad was playing for United and now he does.
Don't they have like 10 boys? One of them might actually be decent 
That they know of. With Rooney would never knowDon't they have like 10 boys? One of them might actually be decent
Wonder what became of the brother that didn't make it football wise. I know his youngest brother John currently plays for Macclesfield and has bounced about England's lower leagues and the MLS.
It clearly runs in the blood as Kai is posting amazing numbers against kids in the academy level. It's not like he's throwing in these numbers against the local district league sides. Whether he makes the grade or not I'd say he's going to have a career in the game at some paid level.

Genetics must have something to do with it but I can't help but think that his normal kickabouts with dad weren't the same as other kids growing up.
"Dad, can we slow it down a bit?!"
"LoI nope." *Does some more amazing skills*

Hope he has half the talent of his father and he will be a fantastic player.
Anyone know what age group he's playing in? Is he always this prolific. Feel like I've seen a few of these social media posts after he's notched up a bag full of goals.
U14 mainly, he turned 14 in November.
Yeah he’s bagged a lot of goals but you never know how they turn out as far as being well-rounded forwards. Plenty have scored 100+ goals in a season on youth level but it doesn’t really mean much. McNeill being one example.

Cheers - thought he was a good bit older than he is to be fair so puts a different shine on things alright knowing he's U14. Good sign all the same. Even McNeill could come good later in his career i.e. mid twenties. Hard at the top for those fox in the box strikers when they don't have top-end pace and their man-strength isn't yet there.
Absolutely he could. And I don’t mean it in a bad way, as you said it takes a lot to become a top tier striker. He’s not a bad footballer, just won’t be a top flight striker.
Who remembers Bojans 10000000 goals at youth level...
Should start against Liverpool
