Wayne Rooney’s son, Kai, who is 15 years old, expressed his frustration after sustaining an injury while playing for Manchester United’s development team. Despite his setback, Kai had been making significant progress within the club before his injury.
Kai recently earned a spot in the United-19s squad, where he showcased his talent by scoring a remarkable goal for the Under-18s. However, his current injury has put his promising trajectory on hold as he shared a photo on social media wearing a protective boot on his injured foot, accompanied by a caption expressing his disappointment.
Although the extent of his injury and recovery timeline remain uncertain, Kai’s dedication to the sport mirrors his father’s passion for football. Wayne Rooney, a former Manchester United star, has been supportive of Kai’s football journey, allowing him to develop his skills independently on the field.
Kai, who has been part of the United academy since he was 11, has demonstrated his potential to follow in his father’s footsteps with his performances on the field. Despite facing this setback, Kai’s determination and talent indicate a bright future ahead in football.
