Sports Anchor Mayanti Langer posts a photo on Twitter with Wayne Rooney

One of India’s finest sports anchor Mayanti Langer has made a new friend post the game at Visakhapatnam where India played their final ODI of the three-match series against Sri Lanka. Mayanti’s new friend is Wayne Rooney, and it is not to be confused with the England international.

Wayne Rooney is the name of the dog that operates at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. In the photo, the anchor can be seen shaking a hand with the dog at the stadium.

Mayanti Langer wrote on her Twitter account, “Made a new friend today….his name is Wayne Rooney. #dogsofvizag #rooneyfan.” Here is the image she tweeted, getting cosy with Wayne Rooney.

However, following that Mayanti also made sure that she cleared the air around the Manchester United legend. She revealed that she is a big fan of the former United player. Rooney has been one of English Premier League’s best players in the last decade.

The other Wayne Rooney:

The primarily right-footed player has taken the league by surprise with his amazing ball control and the goals that he can score from an impossible angle. Rooney has been considered one of the best English footballers of all-time. Many of the critics had written down Rooney as a player past his form. However, he has proved from time to time that he is still one of the league’s best attackers.

Rooney has returned to his boyhood club Everton to lead the side. The English international has single-handedly carried the club on his shoulder, helping them get over the line at crucial times. Despite his age being on the wrong side of 30, Rooney has scored nine goals this season for Everton keeping them away from the relegation zone.

At Vizag too, it looks the ground-staff are in awe of the midfielder by naming their dog as Wayne Rooney.
