Cass Rooney, the youngest son of former England captain Wayne Rooney and television personality Coleen Rooney, has sported a new hairstyle for the summer holidays, drawing inspiration from Brazilian football legend Ronaldo. The eight-year-old has shaved his head, leaving a small semi-circle at the front, a look famously worn by Ronaldo during the 2002 World Cup.
Coleen Rooney shared the new look on social media, captioning a photo of Cass in his football kit with: 'Summer holidays.... Hair style fun!!!'. She also posted an update on her Instagram Story revealing that Cass and his football team had won their summer league, with him posing with the silver trophy.
The Rooney family has four sons: Kai, 16, Klay, 12, Kit, 10, and Cass, 8. Earlier this year, their eldest son, Kai, who plays as a forward for Manchester United's youth academy, showcased a significant fitness transformation. Despite an injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season after making his U18 debut in January, Kai has been focused on his fitness regime.
In March, Kai announced his season-ending injury on Instagram, stating he would be 'Back stronger next pre-season.' He is eligible for a professional contract with Manchester United next season, having earned his first scholarship. The young footballer also took a significant step in his career by signing with super agent Triple S Sports, an agency run by Paul Stretford, Wayne Rooney's long-term agent.
Triple S Sports represents several players, including Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and Everton's James Garner, as well as Wayne's cousin Jake Rooney. The agency also manages numerous Manchester United academy players. Previously, Kai helped United's U16s secure the Premier League Shield title with a 2-0 victory over Burnley, with his parents in attendance.
The Rooneys are frequent attendees at their sons' matches. Kai has also played at Old Trafford in an FA Youth Cup tie, where Wayne and Coleen were joined by figures such as Michael Carrick, whose son Jacey is also a promising young player at Manchester United.
