Carrick and Rooney lead the U14s to victory! The son of the former England captain scores a magnificent lob to help the young Red Devils defeat Millwall and win the national championship. The kids of Man United legends Wayne and Michael shine.
Man United Confidential has highlighted the outstanding potential emerging from the Carrington academy this season, and it would be a mistake to overlook the Under-14s this week following their victory in the Albert Phelan Cup to earn national championship status.
Now that the offspring of two iconic players from the past are emerging stars in the club’s academy, United supporters are daring to dream of what the future holds with Rooney and Carrick on the team sheet.
At Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium, the youthful duo played a crucial role in the championship game against Millwall. Kai Rooney, then 14 years old, opened the score with an incredible lob to lead the team to a 2-0 victory.Carrick was watching his son Jacey win the award from the stands. The future is incredibly bright for United’s younger players, as demonstrated by the Under-18 team’s victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week, which made them national champions.
There is a lot of hope that Kai Rooney can excel in the academy and eventually make it into the first squad, especially because his father is Manchester United’s all-time top goalscorer. There is no denying the effort Rooney Jr. is putting in, even though he is younger and took a longer path to get there than some of the other people on this list.
The adolescent was asking Darren Fletcher, who was seated next to him, questions nonstop while he was watching the Under-18s play in the Premier League Cup final.Like his father, Rooney is a goal striker. Earlier this season, the U14s defeated Everton 6-4, and Rooney tallied three goals and provided two assists.
Rewind even further and he scored an incredible 56 goals in his first full season with United’s U12s when he was playing with Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Rooney Jr. possesses every quality needed to eventually break into the starting lineup.
