Man Utd ace Rooney rewards tormentor with derby tickets

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney rewarded a teenager who made a fool of him while filming a Nike advert with two free tickets to the recent Manchester derby.

Callum Gardner told Rooney he would "nutmeg" him. A source told the Daily Mail: "Rooney just brushed it off laughing and, not long after, the kid - who's got feet like lightning apparently - 'megged him'.

"He bet him he'd be able to do it again for two tickets to the derby and he pulled it off."
