Wayne Rooney says he has had plastic surgery to repair his nose after breaking it twice during his football career. He discusses this in the first episode of a new Manchester United-focused podcast.

Rooney’s account, as reported by outlets, describes the surgery as leaving him with medical tubes inserted in his nostrils during recovery. The reporting centers mainly on Rooney’s personal disclosure rather than any public medical details, and the coverage emphasizes the Manchester United angle of the podcast and his statements about the injuries.
