Kai Rooney's burgeoning reputation has been further enhanced with a brilliant four-goal display for Man United's youth team.
Wayne Rooney's eldest son ran riot against Burnley Under-21s and showed he is a chip off the old block with some exceptional finishing.
Footage of Kai's goals for Man United's youth side has emerged and impressed fans with their variety and execution in the 6-0 Premier League 2 victory.
His opening goal came sharp instincts after Emmanuel Ziro crossed the ball to Jaume Camacho, who headed onto the post, with Rooney lashing home the rebound.
Shortly into the second half he doubled his tally from the penalty spot after winning the spot kick himself.
By the 63rd minute, Rooney had completed his impressive hat-trick with a header from a corner and shortly afterwards he tormented Burnley with a fourth.

It was the pick of the bunch, shifting the ball onto his right foot before smashing powerfully home.
Rooney has been playing on the right wing for much of the campaign so far and now has five goals and an assist in just three matches.
