Wayne Rooney attends Alder Hey Christmas lights switch-on

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney attends the Christmas lights switch-on at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney attended a ceremony for the switching-on of the Christmas lights at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool yesterday.

The medical facility opened its new £237m building in Springfield Park earlier this year situated just a few miles from Croxteth, where the England international grew up.

The striker posted a picture from his trip, alongside wife Coleen Rooney and some of the hospital's patients, on Instagram:
