Kai Rooney, the 16-year-old son of Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, has signed a contract with Triple S Sports Management, the agency that represented his father during his playing career. The agency, run by long-time agent Paul Stretford, announced the signing on Instagram, stating they are excited to work with the Manchester United forward.
Rooney joined United's youth setup at age 11 and has progressed through the ranks, recently making his Old Trafford debut for the Under-18s in the FA Youth Cup. He also signed a boot deal with Puma in 2022 after a 56-goal season, though he is not permitted to wear his Puma boots for the Under-16s due to a club policy ensuring all academy players wear the same footwear.
In February, Rooney denied reports that he had been offered a lucrative new contract by United. The Sun had claimed he was offered a one-year scholarship followed by a three-year professional deal worth around £50,000-a-week, but Rooney dismissed the story on Instagram with the message: "Don't listen to mail" accompanied by laughing face emojis.
