Man United fans have urged the club to give him a contract

Kai is currently playing in the Red Devils youth academy and has shown promise in his matches.

The footage that has gone viral on social media shows the young forward practising his first touch and finishing.

Kai is able to put together a run of tidy finishes, although the challenge is made easier with the absence of a goalkeeper.

Despite there being no stopper, fans were impressed enough to demand the club offer Kai a professional deal.

One fan posted: “Left-footed Rooney means English Messi or another Foden regen.”

A second wrote: “We’re getting a left-footed Rooney 2.0? I’m up for it.”

A third commented: “Give him a contract already at United.”

A fourth said: “Kai Rooney and Amir Ibragimov aka Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez.”

A fifth exclaimed: “I genuinely cannot put into words how excited I am for this kid to come through.”

Another added: “This guy will be a better version of Haaland. Wait and watch.”

In January, Kai made his return from injury and was involved in a massive 6-0 win over Leeds.

According to what he said on social media, he assisted twice and scored two goals.

He scored in a cup final victory over Manchester City the previous year.

And fans even likened his chest control technique to that of his legendary father, who is Man Utd’s all-time leading goalscorer, the following month.

Of Rooney’s four boys, Kai is the oldest; his younger brothers are Klay, Kit, and Cass.

In 2022, he secured a modeling contract with Puma, even though his father had always been a Nike athlete.

In the summertime, Kai participated in Puma’s back-to-school campaign and wears their footwear on the field.
