Watch: Kai Rooney scores lovely curling goal for Man Utd in youth game vs Man City

The son of the Red Devils' all-time record scorer showed that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree with a spectacular effort for the U12s

Kai Rooney scored a lovely curling strike for Manchester United in a youth game against Manchester City over the weekend.

Rooney, son of United's all-time record scorer Wayne, initially joined the club's youth ranks in 2020 and is now working towards following in his father's footsteps at Old Trafford.

The 12-year-old certainly has the same eye for goal based on his latest performance, which came in a derby clash with the Red Devils' local rivals City.
