Rooney was born on 2 November 2009 at the Liverpool Women's Hospital to former England international footballer, and Manchester United record goal-scorer, Wayne Rooney, and former television personality Coleen Rooney.
Club career
In October 2016, Rooney enrolled in the Manchester United youth academy, but switched to rivals Manchester City just two months later. Following his father's move to American Major League Soccer side D.C. United in 2018, Rooney joined the Bethesda Soccer Club in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Following Wayne Rooney's return to English football with Derby County in 2020, Kai Rooney was linked with a return to Manchester City. However, following a trial at rivals Manchester United, he joined the Red Devils in December of the same year, with his father stating that he had offers from other teams, but it was "his decision" to join Manchester United. He integrated into the academy well, breaking Manchester United's record for goals scored in a single season at under-12 level, with 56. The following season, he scored in a 2–0 win against Manchester City in the final of the under-13 National Cup North.
Personal life
At the age of twelve, Rooney signed a sponsorship deal with German athletic apparel company Puma.
