Wayne Rooney's lookalike son Kai showed he's following in his dad's footsteps as he took a break from Manchester United's under-18s for a family holiday to Barbados. The teenager, 16, was called-up to the club's squad earlier this season, aged 15, but was sidelined for months after suffering an injury. But Kai proved he is back to full-fitness as he raced Wayne's former teammate Jonny Evans during their Caribbean trip. Kai joined United's academy in 2020 at the age of 11 and has steadily worked his way through the youth ranks. When asked about offering advice to his eldest son earlier this year, Wayne said he prefers a hands-off approach.
