Wayne Rooney’s “alleged” use of Jenny Thompson’s unique escort services last year has generated a storm of media content since the News of the World and Sunday Mirror printed parallel ’exclusives’ yesterday. Amid the paper talk, Rooney faces the real prospect of divorce and loss of millions in sponsorship income. Much as salacious revelations of infidelity have affected Tiger Woods on both [...]
Wayne Rooney’s recent indiscretions, where the striker reportedly slept with a £1200-a-night call girl, make uncomfortable reading for Manchester United fans wishing their hero to be a role model and a star player. Indeed, in this age of celebrity and moralising tabloids, Rooney’s infidelity is sure to keep him on the front pages for weeks. [...]
Wayne Rooney’s bright performance for England at Wembley last night is vindication for the striker, who has faced some of the most vitriolic criticism of his career in recent months.

Sir Alex Ferguson has angrily criticised media reports that his surprise Portuguese signing Bebé has already disappointed Manchester United coaches.
