Fans and a former United teammate were quick to point out the fact that the Rooneys could form their own football team one day.

Dimitar Berbatov, who played with Rooney at Old Trafford, wrote: "5-a-side team ready. Merry Christmas Wazza."

Actor and comedian Tom Davis added: "Yes Wazza. Merry Xmas to you and the family pal."

nauzerb777 said: "Imagine all 4 of them winning a league title for manunited playing together.. better than '92 is class of Wazza Roo!!!!"

Rooney, who is now manager of Major League Soccer club D.C. United in the United States and was previously the manager of Derby County, also has four sons with Coleen, 36. They have Kai, 13, nine-year-old Klay, six-year-old Kit and Cass, four.

Earlier this year, Rooney's eldest son Kai signed a sportswear sponsorship deal with Puma at just 12-years-old.

The budding young footballer is following in the footsteps of his famous father who was the face of Nike’s football promotions during his playing days.

Kai is also tipped for a bright footballing future like Wayne, who is United's all-time record goal scorer. The youngster, who joined the Manchester United Academy in December 2020, netted 56 goals last season.
