The youngster helped the Red Devils’ Under-14s beat the Lions 2-0 with a sublime goal before Edson DeJonge-Seiros sealed the win.
Rooney Jr opened the scoring with a stunning half-volleyed chip that looped the Millwall goalkeeper and nestled into the net.
That marked Kai‘s eighth goal in six cup games with the Manchester giants’ youth team.
The forward took to social media where he shared pics from the team’s celebrations on the same day that saw rivals Manchester City becoming Premier League champions for the fourth year in a row.
Kai posted on Instagram: “NATIONAL CUP. All glory to God. 8 goals in 6 games in cup. Onto next season.”
United fans were left in awe after his wondergoal and stormed the comments’ section where they called for his inclusion in the first team within the next few years.
One fan posted: “Special special player.”
Another commented: “Pls, keep your eyes on your dad’s records at MUFC. You must break every of them. I’m very proud of you!”
A third wrote: “Next in line for the first team.”
This fan said: “Class mate!”
And that one exclaimed: “Congrats Kai.”
