Kai Rooney > Kai Havertz."

"Like father, like son."

And Shiven joked:

"We're winning it all in 2035."

Kai will now be hoping to live up to his dad's illustrious career with Man United that saw him break the club's goalscoring record with 253 goals to his name.

Now club manager with Championship side, Derby, the 35-year-old went to win an impressive 12 major titles at Old Trafford.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Former Manchester United forward Wayner Rooney recently opened up on why he despised playing as a number 9 during his days as a Red Devil.

Rooney is United’s all-time goalscorers and will go down in the club’s history as one of the key players during the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

The England international had two memorable seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10 where he was at the peak of his goalscoring powers but as it turns out, those were also some of his most miserable moments in a Manchester United shirt.
