Manchester United youth star Kai Rooney has seen a big decision on his future confirmed which sees him follow in the footsteps of father Wayne

Manchester United youngster Kai Rooney has signed with Triple S Sports Management, the same agency dad Wayne was signed to. The global company is owned by his agent Paul Stretford with it clear the plans for Kai moving forward.

Confirming his addition, a post on Instagram read: “Delighted to announce the signing of @kairooney.10 to Triple S Sports!

“We’re excited to begin working with the Manchester United forward as he continues his journey in the game. A bright future ahead. Welcome to the team, Kai!”

The United legend had discussed his son’s future in the game and made it clear what he wants to see.

Speaking via the BBC last year, he said: “He has great coaches at Manchester United, so I take a stand off approach. I speak to him, but for me it’s all about his mentality and his mindset, to make sure he keeps enjoying it – that’s the main thing for me.”

Rooney’s words on those coaching his son, which includes former teammate Darren Fletcher, was further proven only recently by their progression to the under-18s Premier League Cup final.

Rooney was on the score sheet in the 3-1 semi-final victory over West Ham United with the battle for silverware set for next month at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.

Fellow United starlet JJ Gabriel, who has trained with the first-team, was also on target with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in attendance at Carrington.

Michael Carrick has also been at several academy matches since taking charge but he was busy preparing the first-team for a Premier League clash against Newcastle United.

16-year-old Rooney appears to be taking everything in his stride despite the huge pressure that could be felt on his shoulders with Mum Coleen recently opening up on that.

She said to The Times: “He’s lived it from a young age. “When we used to go to matches when he was younger, he’d get a lot of people coming up saying, ‘Oh, are you Wayne Rooney’s son?’

“But he’s strong-minded, always has been. I’ve got no worries in the way he deals with it. “It’s nice that we know what to expect.

“And we can try to guide him. Obviously, it’s his life, his passion. He can decide what he wants to do. But I think it’s good we’ve got the knowledge.”

Keyshawn Davis has been linked to a move up to welterweight in recent weeks and it seems as though ‘The Businessman’ will soon make the jump, with a date for a ‘championship fight’ up at 147lbs supposedly set.

Davis was stripped of his WBO lightweight world title when he missed weight ahead of a planned first defence against Edwin De Los Santos last June. He then headed to super-lightweight and knocked out Jamaine Ortiz in the final round of their bout on the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson undercard.

During the aftermath of that win, the Norfolk-born superstar called for a shot at reigning WBO welterweight world champion Devin Haney, who agreed to the contest originally, before negotiations stalled.

As a result, it seemed as though Davis could remain at 140lbs, but in an interview with FightHub, the 27-year-old revealed that he has a date for a ‘championship fight’ as he prepares for a debut at 147lbs.

“I definitely got a response [from the people I called out] and I definitely got a date too. I’m telling y’all that right now, and I’m definitely coming back sooner than y’all think. That is why you seen me doing a little politic in the gym.

“It’s politic, but I am staying sharp, for real. Don’t get that f***ed up, I am staying sharp. I got something coming up.

“I think that I am moving up [to 147lbs]. Yep, [for a championship fight].”

Haney appeared to be close to securing a unification bout with WBA champion Rolando Romero, whilst Lewis Crocker (IBF) is rescheduling a clash with Liam Paro due to an injury, and Ryan Garcia (WBC) is looking elsewhere. Where Davis fits in remains to be seen.

Mike Evans is leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team he has built a Hall of Fame resume with for the past 12 NFL seasons, for the San Francisco 49ers. 

Evans reportedly agreed to terms on a three-year deal with San Francisco worth $60.4 million, per ESPN. 

The Glazer family, owners of the Buccaneers, released a statement after Evans’ decision to find a new challenge outside Tampa Bay.

“Saying goodbye to a legend such as Mike Evans is never easy, but today we are filled with appreciation and gratitude for all that he did during his extraordinary 12-year career as a Buccaneer,” the statement read. “Our goal was always to ensure that Mike would play his entire career as a Buccaneer, but as we got further in the process it became clear he was looking for a new challenge.

“He leaves as the most accomplished offensive player in franchise history – a six-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champion – but it was his dedication to making a difference off the field that will define his lasting legacy in our community. We wish Mike continued success in his next chapter and thank him for all that he has done for the Buccaneers and Tampa Bay.”

The statement concluded by saying the family and team look forward to honoring Evans to “celebrate his eventual Hall of Fame career.”

Evans’ agent, Deryk Gilmore, released a statement on his client’s behalf after making the decision. 

“After twelve remarkable seasons in Tampa Bay, Mike Evans felt a desire to challenge himself with a new chapter in the final stage of his career,” Gilmore said, per ESPN. “Throughout his entire career he has pushed himself to grow, compete, and evolve as a player, and this decision reflects that same mindset.

“Mike has tremendous love and respect for the Buccaneers organization, the Glazer family, the coaches, his teammates, and especially the fans in Tampa Bay who have supported him since the day he was drafted. Tampa will always be home to him, and he is deeply proud of everything they accomplished together.”

Gilmore added that the Bucs “made it clear they would have loved for Mike to finish his career in Tampa,” where he would have been only the fourth player in franchise history to spend his entire career in Tampa Bay. 

“Mike Evans’ decision to leave Tampa was never about money,” Gilmore added. “The Buccaneers were extremely aggressive in their pursuit and presented a very strong offer, demonstrating how much they value him and everything he has meant to the franchise.”

As the Glazers’ statement mentions, Evans reset Buccaneers records, tallying 13,052 receiving yards and 108 receiving touchdowns since he was taken seventh overall out of Texas A&M in the 2014 NFL Draft. He also had at least 1,000 yards in each of his first 11 seasons with the Bucs, with the streak ending last season due to several injuries that forced him to miss nine games.

Now, Evans joins a Kyle Shanahan-run offense, which was always expected to add a wide receiver this offseason. Evans immediately fills in as Brock Purdy’s top pass-catching option, and more moves could come with Jauan Jennings also in free agency. 

For the Buccaneers, they made moves in recent seasons to shore up their wide receivers, including first-round pick Emeka Egbuka drafted out of Ohio State in 2025. He had a red-hot start to his rookie season before cooling off a bit. Jalen McMillan was a factor when he returned healthy last season, and veteran Chris Godwin is also a trusty target for quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Kenneth Gainwell has every reason to buy a new pair of sunglasses because the running back has left the Pittsburgh Steelers for the sunny Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gainwell’s move has shaken up Tampa Bay’s backfield,

According to Ian Rapoport in a Monday report, Gainwell is set to earn $14 million over the next two years. The investment is significant for Tampa Bay, but how much should you commit to the back in the fantasy football draft later this year? Here’s an early idea of what to expect.

Should you draft Buccaneers RB Kenneth Gainwell in 2026?

Kenneth Gainwell is heading to a backfield with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. As such, expect a committee situation, which is bad news for fantasy football. Still, Gainwell took part in a committee situation in 2025 and became a quality fantasy football back. This time around could be the same result. Put simply, a draft pick is worthy of Gainwell’s name in 2026.

Kenneth Gainwell fantasy outlook in 2026

The back nearly doubled his production from scrimmage in 2025 compared to any other year in his career. As such, with Bucky Irving’s production not looking anything like what it did in 2024, there’s a decent chance that Gainwell could steal the starting job from Irving at some point this season.

Expect somewhere shy of 1,000 yards if Irving stays healthy in 2026. However, if Irving’s injury troubles return, Gainwell could easily pass the 1,000-yard mark in 2026 with the ability to rush and catch the football.

Is Kenneth Gainwell a good pick in fantasy football this year?

The Buccaneers running back is a decent option this season as long as you don’t expect massive RB1-level production in September. He could be a set-and-forget option as the year drags on, but don’t expect instant success. Even if he wins the starting job, he is going to need to balance Rachaad White and Irving.

Where should you draft Kenneth Gainwell this year?

The new Tampa Bay Buccaneers back makes a ton of sense between the third and fifth round. He isn’t worth spending a top pick on, but thrifty managers could go a long way toward winning their leagues if they get Gainwell on the cheap.
