Man U striker allegedly takes Nike merchandise at Wembley

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, allegedly took a Nike Merchandise while inside a VIP box at Wembley.

He was captured on CCTV in May 2014 while going through the sport company's merchandise before putting them in a plastic bin bag while inside the hospitality box.

A source said, "People were shocked and bewildered to see Rooney’s ­behaviour in the footage, to think he’s someone earning in excess of £300,000 each week."

"It’s clear what Wayne was doing. You can see him debating with friends about which items to take."

Rooney’s representative has however made a strong denial of the accusation. He said, “There is no truth whatsoever in the anonymous claims which the Sunday Mirror has put to us. They are false and defamatory of Wayne Rooney.”

“Wayne Rooney took no items whatsoever from the Nike box.”

A Nike spokesperson also agrees with this. The statement reads, “This story is not true. We can confirm that nothing was taken from the Nike box.”

Rooney, who was left out of the England squad for Euro 2016 warm-up games against Germany due to a knee injury is now recovering.
