Manchester United Reportedly Offer Scholarship-to-Pro Deal to 16-Year-Old Kai Rooney

The claims trace to a Sun report relayed by other outlets.

Overview

  • The 16-year-old forward has reportedly been offered a one-year scholarship that would convert into a three-year professional contract when he turns 17.
  • Reported terms suggest earnings of about £50,000 per year along with an annual signing-on fee.
  • The Rooney family have not agreed to the proposal, and the club has not issued official confirmation.
  • Kai Rooney is said to be among roughly 14 highly rated academy players offered new terms, a group that includes Jacey Carrick.
  • Reports say the offers were made before Michael Carrick became interim manager, with families given until July to decide.
