Rooneys splash the cash in Dubai

The Rooneys: Enjoying life in Dubai

Wayne Rooney and wife Coleen have reportedly embarked on an orgy of spending that will disgust even the most fervent of football fans.

Fresh from signing a record £200,000-a-week Manchester United deal, the Rooneys are said to have splashed more cash in four hours than most fans would earn in a month.

Lapping up all the luxuries money can buy at the £2,000-a-night suite at the seven star Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, the pair were spotted knocking back £50 glasses of pink champagne before tucking into a four-hour lunch by the pool which set them back a cool £400.

The Rooneys suite boasts a 10ft square mirror on the ceiling above their king-sized bed and a hot tub complete with champagne and caviar. Even a one-night stay at the hotel cost nearly twice the average monthly wage in the UK.

Rooney had cancelled a pre-planned 25th birthday party at the last minute to go to Dubai with Coleen. The 'champagne' party cost £90,000 and was to be held in a specially erected marquee at his mansion.

Last month the football star was accused of having a threesome with a prostitute while his wife was pregnant. It has been speculated that Rooney is taking this time to away to work on his marriage after the recent allegations of his affair.
