Manchester United and England hero Wayne Rooney has tweeted a photograph of his son Kai - wearing an Aston Villa shirt!

Despite his dad being a world famous favourite of the Old Trafford title chasers, Kai is pictured wearing the claret and blue of relegation-threatened Villa.

Rooney junior's unlikely allegiance towards the Premier League's bottom club was revealed on a photograph posted by the United striker on Twitter last night.

The England captain, tweeting from his official @WayneRooney account showed Kai and brother Klay celebrating pancake day.

While Klay is wearing a Gruffalo apron, Kai is beaming at the camera in a Villa replica top.

Now if you can just persuade your dad to do likewise please!
