WAYNE ROONEY trolled himself on his rain-lashed Amazon Prime debut.
The Manchester United icon was the only one in a four-person broadcasting team at Manchester City against Real Madrid without an umbrella.
And when his brolly bravery was pointed out to him, Rooney joked: "I hope the rain doesn't come down any more, my hair will be all over the place!"
Rooney is understood to have had two hair transplants.
The procedures are thought to have cost around £30,000.
After his first op in 2011 he was happy to share the experience on social media.
He posted: “Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25, why not? I’m delighted with the result.”
Rooney reportedly then had a top-up two years later.
The former Everton striker, 39, was sacked from his last managerial job in December - after just seven months in charge of Plymouth.
But amid a string of offers he chose a TV stint with Amazon.
And in fact it took him just THREE SECONDS with the microphone at the Etihad on Tuesday night to land a dig.
He told his new colleagues: "Obviously a stadium I've scored a lot of goals in."
A grinning Rooney then added: "I'm sure I'll get a nice welcome."
One fan responded on X: "6 goals he scored at the Etihad btw wouldn't say that's a lot of goals."
Meanwhile, City were more concerned about keeping Real out - with Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe both starting for the visitors.

Your coach stole our style, yes, the Barca tiki-taka, paraded it all around Europe and all you clowns 🤡 where going on about him being the best, blah blah blah, all the while disrespecting great players since 'anyone' can play in 'his' system... JOHAN CRUYFF BROUGHT THAT STYLE TO BARCA!!! And somehow y'all assumed that just because someone is good at maths then they probably invented it??!! there's a 'REAL MATRIX' for him to solve now... 🗑 best coach of all time my foot... and this talk of EPL being the most elite league is dumb.... Spanish teams have been 🗑 trashing English teams for too long now... but that's just what I believe, sooo....

In the EPL 6 goals in one stadium against one team is a lot
