Utd have signed Rooneys brother, John from the everton youth team.
Article in the sun (piece of shite tabloid!):
MANCHESTER United have signed up another Rooney — Wayne’s 13-year-old brother John.
The Premiership giants have put the teenager into their kids’ training school of excellence.
And the club believes the attacking midfielder could even prove to be BETTER than striker Wayne.
Like his famous elder brother, John moved to United from Everton, where he was part of the youth academy.
A United source said: “John is a great little player and talent obviously runs in the family.
“He is part of the youth training programme and is coming along really well. Don’t be surprised if the Rooney brothers lead Manchester United out in a European Cup Final at some point.”
Wayne, John and their 16-year-old brother Graham are all talented sportsmen having been encouraged to play football and box by their dad Wayne Snr.
John was a star player for a local youth team in Liverpool called the Western Approaches and shone for his school De La Salle.
United signed England ace Wayne, 18, in the summer for £27million.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: “I think we have got the best young player this country has seen in the last 30 years.”
