Wayne Rooney has dismissed a suggestion from his former Manchester United teammate Michael Owen, who proposed that the Manchester United legend could also act as an agent for his son, Kai.

Owen posed the question to Rooney while the two were discussing their sons' football careers during a new Amazon show, "A Family Affair".

However, Rooney quickly rejected the idea, laughing and responding: "No, no."

Kai, 16, came through Manchester United's youth system after joining the academy at age 11.

The teenager has now signed a scholarship contract at Old Trafford, hoping to follow in his father's footsteps.

However, despite bearing one of football's most recognizable surnames, Rooney has insisted he is willing to let his son forge his own path.

The former Manchester United and England captain clearly has no need to act as an agent himself.

Kai has signed with Triple S Sports Management, the same agency that previously represented his father.

The global agency is owned by Rooney's long-time agent, Paul Stretford.

Triple S Sports confirmed Kai's signing via social media, stating: "Delighted to announce the signing of Kai Rooney to Triple S Sports.

"We are excited to work with the Manchester United forward and watch him continue to develop his game.

"A bright future awaits. Welcome to the team, Kai!"

Rooney previously revealed he takes a relatively hands-off approach to his son's football career.

He told the BBC in an interview last year: "He has great coaches at Manchester United, so I'll stay on the sidelines.

"I'll have conversations with him, but for me, what matters most is his mentality and making sure he continues to enjoy football—that's what's important to me."

This approach appears to be working. Despite the enormous expectations that come with being Wayne Rooney's son, Kai continues to progress through Manchester United's academy.
