Ex-England football star Wayne Rooney's wife, Coleen has said that her hubby has an incredible diet and prefers salads over burgers.

The former Manchester United striker, who turned 36 on Sunday, is currently managing English football club, Derby.

"They all think Wayne's a big fat person and eats burgers every day, which he's not, and I don't know where they get it from," Coleen was quoted as saying by Daily Star.

"It does my head in because people really believe that. His favourite food is lettuce. He loves salad." Rooney had admitted to having chocolate cereal as a pre-game ritual.

"I tend to just have cereal before a game, probably a bowl of Coco Pops. The normal ones, not the Moons and Stars," he told FourFourTwo portal.
