Man Utd ace Rooney convinced son Klay has what it takes

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney reckons son Klay is a chip off the old block.

Rooney has revealed that his youngest boy, barely 18 months old, is showing signs of following in his own famous footsteps.

He said: "My youngest lad, since the first day he could walk, has been wanting a ball. He kicks it around everywhere he goes.

"It's incredible to watch him. He's just over one-and-a-half and, without any teaching, his technique is unbelievable.

"I used to think it was more about hard work than natural talent. Now I'm thinking you must be born with something too.

"When I take my boys into the garden and have a kick about, the youngest lad always wants to stay out longer. He's obsessed."
