Manchester United fans think they might have already found the new Wayne Rooney after a clip of youngster Mark Helm went viral over the weekend.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder netted a superb free-kick on Saturday as United drew 4-4 with Leicester at U18s level.
Helm opened the scoring for United in the match as he curled a stunning set-piece in to the top corner from the edge of the box.
Not only was the technique similar to that of club record scorer Rooney, but the fact he was wearing the iconic No.10 shirt also led to more comparisons.
Helm has a long way to go if he is to ever match the 253 goals which Rooney managed for United but supporters can certainly see a few obvious similarities so early into his career.
Very similar
From that angle its rooney
