A story is circulating that Mercedes-Benz has signed a £1 million contract making Wayne Rooney its new ambassador. Merecedes says this is not true.
The company said:"Mercedes-Benz has supplied a CL63 AMG Coupé to Wayne Rooney under a similar arrangement to those supplied to other high profile individuals in the world of sport. We never disclose details of individual arrangements but can confirm that the arrangement does not and will not make Mr Rooney an official representative of the Mercedes-Benz brand."
Reports had claimed the 22-year-old sealed a two-year deal last week and has already taken delivery of the car worth £121,200.
He has previously owned a Chrysler 300C so his endorsement is staying in the family.
I do not know what 'our Coleen' drives.
Anyway, ambassador or not, not a bad smoker for match days or training at The Cliff.
In fact, this may upset Ronaldo, who appears to have only a deal for a pram out of which he can throw his dummy.
In case there is any visual confusion he gets the whole car. The sticky-out bits are, in fact, the wing mirrors.
