Ronaldo is a #$@%, Rooney told escort

Rooney branded his former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo a "****** *****", according to the escort Jenny Thompson, who is claiming she slept with the star while his wife Coleen was pregnant.

The Sun tabloid quoted her as saying, “We were at a party one night and when Ronaldo walked past, and Wayne muttered it."

She added: "Another time I said how rude Rio Ferdinand was. Wayne laughed and said, 'That's what Rio's like when he's had a bit to drink'."

Jenny said she once ran into Rooney when he was out drinking with his Man Utd team-mates.

She said: "About half an hour later he held my hand in front of everyone and led me down these stairs. Michael Owen looked at him in disgust."

Rooney was said to be in meltdown over trying to save his marriage. He is said to have told friends, “I will do anything to save it.”

Rooney and Coleen have a 10-month old son Kai.
