Kai finished the campaign off with 56 goals and 28 assists in a prolific season for the United under-12 side, and it looks as though he could emulate his father, Wayne.

According to the reports on Mirror and Daily Star, Kai signed for Man United back in December 2020, and the eldest son of the Man United legend hasn't disappointed since.

Should Kai continues with his goal exploits at Manchester United academy, then there are chances of him graduating to the first team like his father.

Gary Neville Concerned with Man United's Inactivity in The Summer Transfer Window

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Manchester United legend Gary Neville expressed concern with the club's inactivity in the summer transfer window.

United were projected to have a busy window that would see them make a number of signings to bolster their squad after a frustrating 2021/22 season that saw them end the campaign without a trophy.

However, while the club have offloaded a number of senior players, they are yet to make any significant signings.

According to Sportskeeda, this is in complete contrast to their rivals in the Premier League who are having a busy window.

Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur have all made significant signings, with the Reds recently beating United to the signing of Uruguayan star, Darwin Nunez.
