The Premier League's love affair with Ed Sheeran shows no sign of abating after Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was caught duetting with the singer-songwriter. Sheeran was seen riffing with the England captain at an after-party following a gig in Manchester - one which Robin van Persie also rocked up to. Rooney was sat on stage in a nearby pub alongside the 23-year-old, head wobbling as he tried to keep pace with Lego House in front of a roomful of revellers at the Sir Ralph Abercromby pub near Deansgate.
