At the time, Kai was pictured holding up a Man United shirt with the No.10 on the back.

Incidentally, the No.10 jersey is the same number worn by his father during his illustrious career with the Red Devils.

Wayne Rooney and his wife, Coleen, later took to their Instagram to celebrate their son's latest milestone.

"Proud day. Kai signing for @ManUtd. Keep up the hard work son," Rooney posted on Instagram.

While details on Kai's first Man United contract remain scanty, the youngster appears to have made a decision to continue his development at the Premier League club.

The 12-year-old revealed on Instagram he had penned a new contract with the Old Trafford-based club.

"New two-year deal," a post on his Instagram stories complete with a pen and notepad said.

Kai Rooney's epic start to life at Man United

Kai has enjoyed a successful start to his football career at United, with his performances earning him comparisons with his legendary father.

Back in October 2021, he sent Man United fans into a complete meltdown after he scored four goals against Liverpool.

The four goals came just days after Rooney Jr had registered a hat-trick for Man United's U12 team.

Ronaldo caught laughing during Man United defeat

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction during Man United's 4-0 demolition by Brighton did not go unnoticed by fans.

The veteran striker was part of the United side that suffered the defeat, with the Red Devils failing to score at least a consolation.

Ronaldo was caught on camera laughing sarcastically as the Red Devils trailed the Seagulls 3-0 shortly after the break.

The forward's reaction generated mixed reactions among fans, with some claiming Ronaldo was justified to 'laugh' at the state of affairs at the club.
