The gash appeared to have been the result of a clash with City defender Vincent Kompany, and Rooney was promptly stapled back together on the sidelines.

Fans watching on were equal parts impressed and disgusted as the captain's makeshift operation went on at the touchline.

Wayne Rooney there. Getting blood all over somebody else's hair.
