Wayne Rooney is having his £50,000 garden landscaped again – so he can get his lawn just like the turf at Old Trafford.
The footballer brought back workman to rip up the old turf at his £4m mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire so it could be replaced by new grass and under soil heating – believed to be similar to that at the United stadium.
Wayne and fiancee Coleen McLoughlin, both 21, had spent tens of thousand of pounds on lawns and shrubs in the run up to their move to the purpose built property in December 2005.
But the garden became heavily scorched by last Summer’s heatwave and it is feared the quality of the grass may have been permanently affected by the high temperatures.
Now contractors are back at the site putting in new turf and even under soil heating so Wayne can feel as though he is stepping onto the United pitch as he goes outside to prune his roses.

But Wayne and Coleen has made sure none of the workmen can peek in at his property by erecting fencing around the main driveway.
One insider said: “Wayne and Coleen thought it could be a good time to renovate it and get it up to the best standard possible.
“They have a great house but it needs to compliemented by a great garden.
“Wayne himself wants the grass to be as good as the turf at Old Trafford.
“Stepping out on the pitch is one of his biggest thrills and he wants to recreate that back home.”
