Manchester United knew about Wayne Rooney's private life concerns before the World Cup, it has been revealed.
The Sun says Old Trafford insiders knew of Rooney's off-field activities BEFORE the start of the finals on June 11.
A Manchester United source told The Sun: "The relationship with this woman was hardly a secret within the club - but Wayne was always hopeful it would not be known by everybody.
"Unfortunately for him, everything has been made public."
