Kai Rooney, 15, scored and assisted in a rampant 3-0 win over West Cork Academy on Monday.
Dad Wayne is Man Utd’s all-time record goalscorer with 253 goals and former SuperCup NI player for Everton youth.
With Michael Carrick‘s son Jacey also named in the XI, United’s Under-16s took an early lead within the opening five minutes.
Kai, charged down the right wing to the byline to cross deep to Sam O’Brien whose first touch perfectly set it up to hit on the volley past the keeper.
Kai then hit the net from the penalty spot to double United’s lead going into the break, having earned the spot-kick himself.
The teenager then immediately put his hands across his face in tribute to new £63.5million Arsenal striker Gyokeres, who previously a Man Utd target.
When the Swede celebrates a goal, he locks his fingers together on both hands and covers his mouth and nose to create a ‘bane’ Batman mask.
Meanwhile, although Kai was a danger throughout, it was Bassirou Nkoto’s outrageous goal that left fans talking.
