Kai Rooney, Cristiano Jr To Become Teammates in Man U Academy

Kai Rooney, Cristiano Jr To Become Teammates in Man U Academy

The sons of Manchester United legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are set to continue their fathers’ legacies at Old Trafford as part of the club’s academy.

Following Ronaldo’s return to the Premier League earlier this week, the Portuguese superstar’s son will continue his first steps as a footballer alongside Kai Rooney, aged 11.

The latter’s career began a year before Cristiano Jr’s and has already shown signs of promise, with the youngster recently netting a stunning hat-trick against Stoke City.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Jr has been making an impression at Juventus’ academy, where he has played his football since 2018.

The youngsters have the perfect role models to learn from if they want to enjoy a successful career with The Red Devils. Their fathers played 206 times together at United, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League on a famous night in Moscow, 2008.

Rooney, who currently occupies the dugout at Derby County, is delighted to see his former teammate back in United colours again.

“Cristiano is still one of the best players in the world,” he told the press, as quoted by talkSPORT. “He’s won titles everywhere he’s been so he’s going to be huge.”

When asked about what he thinks Ronaldo can bring to Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side, Rooney expects to see silverware, something that he says the United boss must get his hands on sooner rather than later.

“Ole (Gunnar Solskjær) will certainly know that he’s in a position now where he needs to start winning these big titles with the big players they’ve brought in,” Rooney continued.
