Rising Star Secures Representation
Kai Rooney, the 16-year-traditional son of Manchester United and England icon Wayne Rooney, has taken a significant step in his burgeoning football career by signing with Triple S Sports Management. The agency confirmed the partnership earlier today.
Triple S Sports Management is owned and run by Paul Stretford, who has been Wayne Rooney’s agent throughout his entire playing and coaching career.
A Family Affair
The move signifies a major milestone for the young forward, who has been with Manchester United since the age of 11. He has made five appearances for the under-18 side this season, including a debut at Old Trafford in an FA Youth Cup game against Derby County in January.
Kai recently scored in the Premier League Under-18 Cup semifinal against West Ham United at Carrington, with Manchester United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in attendance.
Agency Enthusiasm
“We’re excited to begin working with the Manchester United forward as he continues his journey in the game. A bright future ahead,”

Triple S also represents other prominent footballers, including Harry Maguire, Niamh Charles, and James Garner.
Wayne Rooney’s Perspective
Wayne Rooney has emphasized the importance of his son enjoying the game. Last year, he shared his approach to Kai’s development with the BBC, stating:
“He has great coaches at Manchester United, so I stay out of it. I speak to him, but for me it’s all about his mentality and his mindset, to build sure he keeps enjoying it—that’s the main thing for me.”

Looking Ahead
Kai will be hoping to emulate his father’s success, who spent 13 years at Manchester United and departed as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer with 253 goals, having won every major club honor.
