Man Utd ace Rooney hits 10M Twitter followers

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is the most followed British footballer on Twitter.

The United striker has just secured his 10 millionth fan on social network Twitter.

And if they all turned up to watch him at Old Trafford these fans would fill the stadium 172 times.

He's also now in the top 10 most-followed people in the UK and sits just behind pop mogul, Simon Cowell (10.5 million followers) and singer, Ed Sheeran (10.6 million).

However, the football star still has a long way to go before he takes the No.1 sports slot.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has a whopping 30.3 million followers.
