Wayne Rooney watched son Klay take on an ex-Premier League rival’s child in Spain – as the legend took a break from talk of a shock managerial return.<\/p>\n

Klay<\/a>, 11, starred for Manchester United<\/a>‘s kids against Spanish club\u00a0UE\u00a0Quart at Girona.<\/p>\n

And it meant Rooney Jr doing battle with\u00a0Constantino\u00a0Stuani\u00a0in the\u00a0U12-A\u00a0category of the\u00a0MICFootball\u00a0event.<\/p>\n

Stuani’s dad\u00a0Cristhian\u00a0Stuani<\/a> is rated the greatest player in Girona’s history.<\/p>\n

And at 38, the 50-cap Uruguayan is still going strong for the LaLiga side – as skipper.<\/p>\n

The striker also had a stint in England in the two years prior to that.<\/p>\n

Stuani was at Middlesbrough<\/a> from 2015-17, helping them earn promotion to the top flight.<\/p>\n

He even netted twice in his first Prem<\/a> match – clinching a 2-1 derby victory at Sunderland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rooney Senior<\/a>, an Old Trafford icon and ex-England<\/a> skipper, looked on intently along with Stuani as their sons locked horns – perhaps not for the last time if their rich potential blossoms.<\/p>\n

The young Red Devils came out on top with a 3-1 win.<\/p>\n

And that suggests there were no home favours – as Stuani Senior is the event sponsor!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Klay has been packing his bags to go off for tournaments with United since he was just eight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rooney forced to defend himself to Gabby Logan live on Amazon Prime Video <\/p>\n

And older brother Kai<\/a>, 15, is a free-scoring frontman in the Red Devils’ academy.<\/p>\n

Wayne<\/a> and wife Coleen<\/a> also have two younger sons – Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass.<\/p>\n

Rooney Senior’s axing as Plymouth chief<\/a> on New Year’s Eve might not be his last taste of Championship bossing this season.<\/p>\n

The former Everton<\/a> frontman and ex-Derby<\/a> manager, 39, has been linked with Blackburn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Current Rovers<\/a> boss Valerien Ismael is under pressure as the side slumped to seven points of the play-off zone after he replaced John Eustace.<\/p>\n

For now, though, Rooney<\/a> is impressing as a pundit, notably with Amazon Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wayne Rooney watched son Klay take on an ex-Premier League rival’s child in Spain – as the legend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[1765,17302,17303,393,2000,299,11817,763,2465,886,98,189,104,14349],"class_list":{"0":"post-28821","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-celebrity-kids","9":"tag-coleen-rooney","10":"tag-derby-county","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-eu","13":"tag-europe","14":"tag-everton","15":"tag-liverpool-fc","16":"tag-manchester","17":"tag-manchester-city","18":"tag-manchester-united","19":"tag-section-sportfootball","20":"tag-spain","21":"tag-wayne-rooney"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114356036779831492","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
