The wife of Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has shared a picture of the footballer asleep with his two young sons in his arms.

Coleen Rooney, who is expecting the couple's third child in January, posted the personal photo on her official Facebook page.

The snap shows Rooney asleep with his sons Kai, five, and three-year-old Klay snoozing in his arms, alongside a caption from Coleen, which read: "Couldn't get these 3 out of bed!"

Rooney and his United teammates will take on Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening.
