Rooney and Carrick get Man Utd scholarships

Manchester United have included a couple of notable names among their first-year scholars.

Kai Rooney and Jacey Carrick have joined the club on a permanent basis.

Both youngsters featured for United's Under-18 team last season even though they were only 16.

Now the pair – sons of United's record goalscorer Wayne and current head coach Michael – have taken the first steps towards the professional game.

Rooney and Carrick have both known each other since their dads' playing days and posted pictures on social media from the past as well as the present to celebrate their joint achievement.
