Wayne Rooney insists that speculation about him taking a woman to his flat is ‘simply not true’.
Viral footage of the Manchester United legend and current Plymouth Argyle boss was posted on X at the weekend.
It appeared to show Rooney inviting a woman into his apartment, seemingly after a night out.
However, the England icon has taken to Instagram to shut down the speculation and explain the situation in the video.
“I am aware of a video circulating online,” he said on his story on Monday evening.
“The videos shows a man and woman looking around my apartment. The couple kindly gave me a lift home and were in there at the same time as my son who was visiting.
“Footage is from last summer. It is annoying that at least one online newspaper has chosen to edit the footage to make it appear as though a woman entered the apartment on her own.
“That is simply not true.”
Footage of Rooney’s flat can be seen in the video, with the person filming presumed to be the man in the couple.
The timing of its release led fans to believe that he was on a night out the evening before Plymouth’s match at Oxford United.
