The teenage forward featured prominently for the Under-16s and impressed. He was rewarded with a jump to the Under-18s. He has scored two goals in seven appearances across league and cup competitions in this age group.
In February, United offered him a scholarship deal in recognition of his potential. Kai will see his contract switch to a three-year deal upon completion of the scholarship. talkSPORT reported that he is set to earn £50,000-a-year with an annual signing-on fee.
He was instrumental for the United Under-16s as they secured the Premier League Shield in a 2-0 victory over Burnley at Carrington. Kai’s parents, Rooney and Coleen, were watching from the stands. Yet, no sooner had that success arrived than Kai announced a significant injury setback on social media.
