Kai Rooney scored four goals as Manchester United's Under-18s thrashed Burnley 6-0 in a Premier League 2 match. The 16-year-old opened the scoring after 22 minutes when he latched onto a rebound following Jaume Camacho's header striking the post. Four minutes into the second half, Rooney doubled his tally from the penalty spot after being fouled.

By the 63rd minute, Rooney had completed his hat-trick with a header from a corner kick. He added a fourth goal three minutes later, finishing low into the bottom right corner. His four goals took his season tally to five goals and an assist from just three matches playing on the right flank.
