Manchester United striker splashes N31M on new BMW

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has splashed a whooping N31m on a new BMW i8 hybrid sports car.

The 29-year-old has been seen riding his new wonder-on-wheels to the training at the Carrington.

The new hybrid from BMW uses the combination of an electric motor and a powerful petrol engine which provide extremely low emissions into the environment.

The sports car can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds, and has a top speed limited to 155mph.
