An older looking Wayne Rooney kicked-off his Premier League campaign by scoring in Manchester United's 2-1 win against West Brom on Sunday. The cost of his maturity: 30,000 pounds.
Rooney underwent a hair-transplant surgery earlier in the year which has given rise to a fresh batch of hair but English media is going abuzz with the grey tinge to his 'latest acquisition.' The 25-year-old opted for a follicular transfer in which portions of hair from the back are taken out and re-planted on balding patches. The Daily Mail quoted him saying that he was happy with the final result since at 25, he was not too pleased with his receding hairline marred look.
It may have been an expensive procedure but the news paper says it is common for the Rooney's to splurge. While Wayne may have spent money on his look, his wife Coleen spent 200,000 pounds on 10 trips around the world last year. Charity though, is also made as the couple have donated 50,000 pounds to a 'Reclaim Our Streets' fund, set up to support the victims of last week's riots in England.
