Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney donated £100,000 to assist victims of the Manchester bombing yesterday.

The donation, made through the striker's foundation, aims to provide support and help for victims and their families, after the terror attack on Monday night left 22 people dead and more than 100 requiring hospital treatment.

In a statement on the charity's page, Rooney said: "There are moments in life that instantly affect you and stop you in your tracks. Monday night was one of those occasions.

"Like so many others, I have enjoyed great nights at the arena, often with my family.

"As a father, I am horrified that a night out for so many young people could end so tragically. My heart goes out all those affected. Please give whatever you can."
