Sun: 15-year-old Rooney scored Manchester United s first goal in his U18 career, but his popularity was still blocked by his 14-year-old teammate
The Sun reported that Rooney Jr. scored his first goal in Manchester United's U18 career.
15-year-old Kay Rooney was promoted to Manchester United's U18 echelon this season, and he soon scored his first goal in the U18 league where Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 5-0.
Rooney Jr.'s goal was lucky. The ball was refracted by a defensive player and then hung over the goalkeeper into the net. But he still showed his skills after running in the penalty area and getting rid of defense. However, despite Rooney Jr.'s performance, his popularity was overshadowed by another Manchester United young player JJ Gabriel.
14-year-old JJ Gabriel completed a double hit in this game. The first ball was a smart penalty area and the second ball hit a left-footed world wave after a delicate running position. His performance won praise from many Manchester United fans on social media.
JJ Gabriel, known as "Little Messi", will train with the first team this season. He has promised to stay at Manchester United for at least the next two years, and insiders predict that he may become the youngest Premier League player in club history. Technical Director Wilcox and Football Director Matt Hargreaves have personally participated in the negotiations to retain him.
