Kai, who left City when his dad moved to MLS in the United States, has been seen running training drills with a personal coach and was videoed scoring an outrageous free-kick that would have made his father proud.

Wayne was only a few years older than Kai when he made his breakthrough as a 16-year-old for Everton, joining United a couple of years later.
