Wayne Rooney's son Kai signs for Man Utd as he pens deal with dad and mum Coleen

Wayne Rooney's son Kai has signed for Manchester United.

The Red Devils' record scorer shared a picture of his son putting pen to paper alongside wife Coleen.

He wrote: "Proud day. Kai signing for @ManUtd. Keep up the hard work son."

Kai, 11, was Rooney's first son with Colleen, born in November 2009.

The couple have three more sons: Klay, 7, Kit, 4 and Cass, 2.

Rooney, who is currently interim manager at Derby County having joined the Rams as a player-coach during last season, wrote himself into Old Trafford folklore in a 13-year spell at United.

He scored 253 goals in 559 games - the most of any player ever to don the famous red shirt.

Along the way, he won five Premier League titles, three League Cups, one FA Cup, one Europa League and one Champions League crown.

Rooney joined United from boyhood club Everton in 2004 and left to return to Goodison Park in 2017 having firmly established himself as a Red Devils great.

He spent a solitary season back on Mereyside before two years with DC United in the MLS.

Rooney is now hoping to land the Derby job on a full-time basis after the Rams sacked Phillip Cocu as he bids to launch a managerial career.
