Rooney denies Wembley souvenir claims

The striker was alleged to have been caught on camera putting Nike's paraphernalia into a bin bag, but the story has been strenuously rejected from several quarters.

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney and Nike have denied claims that the England striker mistreated property in a hospitality suite at Wembley Stadium in May 2014.

Footage obtained by the Sunday Mirror appears to show the forward placing several items from Nike’s hospitality box at the national stadium into a bin liner, although it is unclear whether these artifacts were removed or if the 30-year-old had permission to take them.
