That's right, Wayne Rooney has bagged another trophy for his cabinet. Unfortunately for Manchester United fans, it's nothing of the football variety, but rather the annual Charity Golf Day silverware.
Leading his group to the team award as well as securing the
individual honour, the Manchester United striker chopped his way around
the club's charity golf day to defend his title
The event, hosted at Dunham Forest Golf and
Country Club, saw Rooney claim his second consecutive winners trophy as
he led his group to the team award as well as claiming the individual
title as defending champion.
Those with eagle eyes will notice
Jonny Evans in the photo too. Correct - Rooney's Manchester United
player of the year vote went to the Northern Irish centre-back but such
camaraderie was reserved just for awards dinners as the striker took to
the course as one of many team captains.
Other teams were led by
the likes of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Dennis Irwin, Paul Scholes and
Bryan Robson - a star-studded line-up.
Of course with charity
events, the essence of competition is the taking part and not the
winning. But following a barren year with United, Rooney will surely
have been comforted by getting his mitts on silverware. The event helped
raise over £18,000 for the Manchester United Foundation which helps
change the lives of young people across Greater Manchester.
