London, Nov.3 : Fed up about being constantly ribbed about his thinning hair, England and Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney finally found a solution to his problem.

Roo, 23, told his England colleague Rio Ferdinand he was fed-up with being ribbed about his thinning hair. So, Rio, 29, got a pair of clippers and shaved off the striker's few remaining locks before United's 2-0 win over West Ham last Wednesday.

Rooney kept his bonce bald for the Red Devils' 4-3 victory over Hull City on Saturday.

And, according to The Sun, it seems his wife Coleen, 22, is happy after he went "a stage further" from his previous short crop.

"We're guessing it's a big hit with Wayne's missus because he kept it for the match against Hull," a Manchester United source was quoted, as saying.
