Former United academy star Ravel Morrison, who recently signed for Derby, commented the followed: “Next up.”

There will be high hopes for Kai but at this stage of his development it’s about enjoying yourself.

I recall the excitement whenever I set off on football trips as a schoolboy player – but sadly, it wasn’t with Manchester United!

All the best to Kai.
