Travel company generates publicity taking mick out of Man Utd's Rooney

UK-based travel company Teletext Holidays were a big hit during England's draw in Brazil yesterday.

The Daily Mail says Travel Agents Teletext Holidays made the most of Wayne Rooney's uncertain future at Manchester United when they placed this quick-witted perimeter advert at the Maracana.

During England's 2-2 draw against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, the UK-based travel company flashed up on the hoardings surrounding the new turf in Rio's iconic stadium that read: 'DESPERATE TO GET AWAY LIKE WAYNE?'

The text scrolled across to display the words 'ESCAPE WITH teletextholidays.co.uk'.
