Kai Rooney issues four-word message after Man United U21s debut doesn’t go to plan

Kai Rooney posted a four-word message on social media following a busy weekend with Manchester United's youth squads. The 16-year-old made his debut for United's Under-21 team as a substitute in a 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Friday. He returned to action on Saturday for the Under-18s, scoring the opening goal in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest before sharing a celebration photo captioned, "back on the scoresheet."

Rooney's recent progression includes making his Under-19 debut against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Youth League. The forward signed a two-year scholarship with Manchester United in July, which can convert into a professional contract. His father, club legend Wayne Rooney, has also recently resumed attending matches after previously being asked to stay away due to swarming fans.
