Wayne Rooney Pets Tiger ...

Wayne Rooney's warm-weather break to Dubai was a chance for recuperation but the Manchester United captain still found time to keep himself busy.

The 30-year-old was in the Middle East last week as part of his recovery from damaged knee ligaments suffered in the Red Devils' defeat at Sunderland last month.

And Rooney put his injured right knee to the test on holiday as he petted a tiger during a visit to a private farm.
