Wayne Rooney broke mywrist, says nine-year-old ManUnited fan

A young Manchester United fan got
more than he bargained for when he
turned up to watch his first ever Red
Devil's match and came away with a
broken wrist - courtesy of Wayne
Rooney.
Nine-year-old Jamie Thomas from
Wem in Shropshire went to Molineux
Stadium on Sunday to watch his
United heroes take on Wolves.
After taking his seat in the Jack Harris
Stand with his Dad Andy, the two
watched the players warming up on
the pitch.
When a wayward Wayne Rooney shot
headed his way, Jamie tried to block
the shot, but the force of it broke his
wrist.
He ended up missing most of the
match, which United won 5-0, as he
received treatment from first-aiders
and was then taken to hospital.
Jamie’s father Andy told the
Shropshire Star: “It was his first Man
United game and we were in the
Wolves end because somebody got
us tickets.
“We were sat on the first row right at
the front. We were with my nephew,
Jamie’s uncle, his sister and her
brother.
“The players were warming up and
Rooney and Hernandez were taking a
few shots. Rooney missed one and it
was coming straight towards Jamie so
he put out his hands to stop it hitting
him and it broke his wrist.
“At first we thought it was just
bruising but Jamie wasn’t enjoying the
game so we went to first aid. We
ended up missing most of the second
half.
“They wanted us to go to
Wolverhampton hospital but we were
catching the train so we went to
Shrewsbury instead.
“They said it was a clean break and
he has to go back in a couple of
weeks.
“He went back to school yesterday
and has had his friends signing his
cast. He can’t write with his hand and
we are having to help him get
changed.”
He added: “It shook him up a bit but
he’s fine about it now and I don’t
think it’s put him off going to other
games.
“I don’t think Rooney realised what
he had done otherwise I am sure he
would have come over.”
