Manchester United 'legend' Wayne Rooney (40) has revealed his changed appearance following nose surgery.
Britain's 'The Sun' reported on the 20th (local time) that "Rooney first showed the results of his nose surgery to the public while dropping off his son Kai (16) at the Manchester United training ground."
According to media reports, Rooney appeared at Carrington training ground driving a Range Rover worth 200,000 pounds (approximately 370 million won) alongside his wife Coleen. Wearing sunglasses, he displayed a noticeably smoother nose bridge compared to before.
Recently, the Rooney family celebrated double joy. Their eldest son Kai, who plays for Manchester United's youth team, was first selected as a club scholar last month and then passed all subjects in the UK General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams, advancing to the sixth form program preparing for university entrance. Coleen expressed her pride on social media (SNS), saying, "I'm so proud of Kai for achieving excellent results despite his busy training schedule," unable to hide her happiness.
Rooney, who suffered two broken noses during his playing career, had postponed surgery for eight years. After completing all World Cup commentary duties recently, he revealed the surgery details while appearing on the podcast 'Stick to United.' Rooney stated, "I finally underwent surgery last week. Fortunately, there's no bruising around my eyes, but because an incision was made inside my nose and stitched, I still have a plastic tube inserted, which is somewhat uncomfortable."
Rooney's first nasal fracture occurred during the 2015 FA Cup match against Preston. His nose broke during a rough physical contest while earning a penalty kick for his team. Later, in 2018 while playing for DC United in Major League Soccer (MLS), he suffered a severe second fracture with his face covered in blood from a violent collision during a Colorado Rapids match.
Although surgery was immediately necessary, Rooney repeatedly postponed it due to his playing career and busy schedule. Finally, after eight years, he underwent surgery and completed this long-standing task.
