Panto joke is on Roo, Wayne
Posted Thursday, September 29, 2011 by The Sun
WAYNE Rooney's hair transplant has provided endless material for Manchester United's biggest jokers.
Now it's the youth team's turn to poke fun at his new barnet.
The traditional Christmas pantomime – which is written and performed by the United youngsters – will be based on his new thatch.
It's called Hair We Go and will take place in the canteen at the club's Carrington training ground in front of the first team squad and coaching staff.
However, nobody is keen on taking on the starring role in the performance.
A source said: "The youngsters aren't exactly queueing up for the part.
"Wayne's a good sport and will laugh along but because the play is featured so heavily on him, whoever gets the part will no doubt cop some abuse further down the line."
Wayne won't be the only United star in line for some mickey-taking.
The panto always features a variety of skits mimicking different players.
Last year Owen Hargreaves got flak for always being injured.
The only man the youngsters dare not pick on is boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Wise move.
