Proud day,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Kai signing for Manchester United. Keep up the hard work son.’

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.
