The DC United boss’ most expensive car is a £175,000 orange Bentley Continental GT, which has a maximum speed of 198mph.

Rooney has also been seen several times riding a £148,000 black Lamborghini Gallardo, a classic Noughties supercar with maximum speed of 201mph.
The Manchester United legend also owned an Aston Martin Vanquish S with same speed as the Lamborghini – the car that was driven by Pierce Brosnan in 007 Die Another Day.
