Wayne Rooney denies claims he 'let mystery woman into Devon flat' after video goes viral

Wayne Rooney has issued a statement on Instagram after a video of him appearing to let a woman into his apartment went viral on social media. Rooney is currently living in Devon, away from his wife Coleen and children, while he manages Plymouth Argyle. The 39-year-old has felt the need to respond after a video emerged of him, wearing a baseball cap and tracksuit, apparently opening the door to his flat while accompanied by a woman.
He wrote on Instagram: "I am aware of a video circulating online. The video shows a man and woman looking around my apartment. The couple kindly gave me a lift home and were in there at the same time as my son who was visiting. "Footage is from last summer. It is annoying that at least one online newspaper has chosen to edit the footage to make it appear as though a woman entered the apartment on her own. That is simply not true.".
The video in question - which has been viewed over two million times - shows Rooney opening his apartment door for a woman. He is then seen inside his spacious loft apartment with the television on. Rooney is living in a large apartment in Plymouth while away from Coleen and his children, who have stayed living in the family home - a six-bedroom £20million mansion in Cheshire. He took the Argyle job in May and has endured a difficult time in Devon, having picked up just five wins from 25 matches so far.
