Wayne Rooney watches on as youngster copies iconic celebration in win over son Kai

By staff3 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Kai Rooney had hopes of lifting a trophy in front of his parents Wayne and Coleen during the Super Cup NI final this weekend but his Manchester United U16 side were beaten by Southampton

Wayne Rooney was forced to watch on from the stands as a youngster mimicked his iconic celebration during a win over his son Kai during a youth tournament final.

Teenager Jude Daniels trolled Kai by copying his dad’s classic “knockout” celebration as he scored the winner for Southampton’s Under-16s against Manchester United in the Super Cup NI final.

The Manchester United legend was watching in the crowd with wife Coleen during the game in Northern Ireland, but they were unable to see their eldest son lift the trophy as Daniels’ goal was enough fro the young Saints team to stun United.

Daniels had tapped home from close range to cap off a magnificent team passing move for Southampton and he immediately wheeled away to celebrate.

Facing a section of the crowd, Daniels performed Rooney’s classic punching celebration, which was followed up by him slowly falling backwards. Luckily his team-mates were there to catch his fall.

Rooney famously performed the celebration during Manchester United’s win over Tottenham back in 2015 and it is one he has become renowned for.

At the time, he had been poking fun at himself after a video went viral of team-mate Phil Bardsley accidentally knocking him out during a sparring match in his kitchen.

It was Daniels who stole the limelight on the day, despite United having the high profile players in their team.

Not only did United have the son of legendary ex-striker Rooney in their team, they also had Jacey Carrick, the son of ex-midfielder Michael.

It came after Kai himself mimicked a classic football celebration after copying Viktor Gyokeres’ mask tribute when he scored earlier in the tournament.

There are high hopes for Kai at United after he followed in his father’s footsteps by signing for the club as an 11-year-old in 2020 – though he has a long way to go in emulating Rooney Sr, who netted a stunning 253 goals from 559 appearances.

Just one year after signing for the club, Kai penned an agreement with sports manufacturer Puma.
