Manchester United fans are overflowing with excitement in Kai Rooney's Instagram comments after noticing the 13-year-old mirroring his father's trademark ball control. Wayne Rooney forged his name into history as one of United's greatest-ever players, and Kai dreams of following in his footsteps in the club's academy.

Kai lifted the U13 National Cup North earlier this year and has previously told the Mirror that his goal is to represent the United senior team.
"That's where I see myself, but I've got to make it happen with hard work and everything behind the scenes.
"I know it's a bit boring, but probably my dad [is my biggest inspiration] as he's helped me through some of the hard times and taught me a lot about the game.
"Even just being in the car listening to him as a manager talking to all the players."
