Wayne and Coleen Rooney Support Son Kai at Super Cup NI Match

Wayne and Coleen Rooney were every inch the supportive parents as they watched their son Kai play for Manchester United in the 2025 Super Cup NI.

The Rooneys travelled to Coleraine, Northern Ireland, to stand pitchside and watch Kai, 15, play in the youth football tournament, which kicked off on Sunday.

The married couple also took their younger sons – Kit, eight, and Cass, six – to watch their older brother in action ahead of Man United’s match against Co Tyrone.

Ahead of the game, Wayne and Coleen were pictured looking every inch the supportive parents as they smiled for the cameras alongside their younger sons.

Wayne – who also shares son Klay, 11, with Coleen – cut a casual figure in an all-black ensemble and flashed a huge smile as he stepped out to show his support for Kai.

Meanwhile, Coleen looked stylish in a pink T-shirt and jeans, which she styled with a burgundy jacket. 

Kai took to the field when Man United played against Co Tyrone at Riada Stadium at 7.30pm on Wednesday night.

Earlier in the week, Kai secured a huge achievement as he nabbed a goal in a 3-0 win over West Cork Academy.

Wayne himself played in the Super Cup NI before shooting to stardom and shared some words of support for his son.

When asked if he gives Kai any tips, Wayne said he simply ‘lets him play and watch’ and praised his son for handling the added attention because of his surname ‘well’.

Speaking to Super Cup NI, Wayne shared: ‘He just plays, that’s what he’s done this whole time playing, I think it’s very unfair for anyone to expect him to go and do all kinds, he’s just playing as a young boy, he’s 15, just playing and doing it.

‘But of course he gets different attention to his teammates but he handles that really well.’

Wayne played in the Super Cup – formerly the Milk Cup – himself in 2000 for Everton’s Under-14 side and described the time as some of his ‘greatest memories’.

The Super Cup is renowned for showcasing young and upcoming footballing talents and kicked off on Sunday and will wrap up on Friday.

Kai has been showing off his burgeoning football talent all season, and recently took part in a match against Glasgow Rangers in the Super Cup NI.

United beat Rangers 2-0 as they continue their trajectory towards the top of Group C of the Premier section. Both goals were scored by Abdoulaye Douka Nkoto.

Manchester United have been sending a youth squad to the tournament for 40 years, with the team winning 3-0 win over West Cork Academy on Monday.

One of the goals was scored by Kai, who has been making waves at the tournament as one of the younger players to watch for the future.

The trip to Northern Ireland comes after Coleen, who has previously revealed her down-to-earth holiday tastes include locations such as Butlin’s, attended Together Again Festival with three of her sons at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire.

The family enjoyed performances from Olly Murs, Jamie Webster and Dizzee Rascal, with Coleen seen singing away in the audience.

Sharing a series of photos to Instagram on Monday, she gave an insight into their festival fun, where weekend tickets cost £199.

In a series of snaps where the family posed with Jamie Website, she wrote: ‘Thank you for looking after us Together Again Fest… fantastic set up!! 

‘And thanks for the photos and lovely to finally meet you Jamie Webster…. Kids had a ball.’
