Rooney Watch

‘“WHAT do you give a boy who earns £50,000 a week for his birthday?” asks the Sun.

Now Wayne will know when his hour with Maureen is up

The answer, if you’re Mike Riley (the referee of yesterday’s Manchester United v Arsenal match) is a penalty.

If you’re Wayne Rooney’s girlfriend, however, the answer is a £15,000 designer watch – bought with his own money.

The paper says 18-year-old Coleen McLoughlin handed the Franck Muller timepiece to her 19-year-old fiancé just before he set off for Old Trafford yesterday.

A pal says: “Wayne has pots of cash, but he’s very generous. He knows Coleen is desperate to spoil him and he’s delighted to pay for her to do it.”

Nice as we don’t doubt the watch is, there are better ways for Coleen to spoil her Wayne.

An all-expenses paid Saga holiday, holiday for instance…’
