Jamie Vardy: Manchester United Fans Mock Leicester City Striker, Bring Up Coleen Rooney Wagatha Christie Case

• Manchester United fans mocked Jamie Vardy by referencing the case between his wife and Wayne Rooney's wife
• Rebekah Vardy had a widely publicised trial last year against Coleen Rooney, which the latter won
• Rooney is a cult hero at Old Trafford, the scene of Leicester City's latest defeat in the Premier League

Manchester United fans tore into Jamie Vardy by reviving the not-so-distant memories of the case of his wife, Rebekah, versus Wayne Rooney's wife, Coleen.

Vardy took to the pitch late in the second half at Old Trafford on February 19 as Leicester City fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat despite a brilliant start.

The English forward, who has found the going tough this season, replaced Kelechi Iheanacho in the 75th minute looking to inspire a late turnaround for the Foxes.

But as the Indian Express reports, he was savagely welcomed to the pitch by chants of 'Jamie, your wife is a grass' which was then followed by further chants of 'Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!'

Rebekah Vardy: Wagatha Christie trial

The wives of the two football stars were involved in a heated court trial despite being advised to look for an out-of-court settlement, with their husbands taking them to some of their trial appearances.

Rebekah Vardy had sued Coleen Rooney for libel, after the latter had accused Mrs Vardy of leaking her private information to a British newspaper.

After a legal dispute that lasted close to three years, the case was finally settled on 29 July in 2022, with Judge Justice Steyn ruling in Coleen's favour, as the Guardian reported.

It is not the first time Man United fans have taunted Vardy. In the reverse fixture in September, Vardy was treated to the same mocking song.

A brace from Marcus Rashford and one from Jadon Sancho was enough to give the Red Devil's faithful further reasons to be happy.

Marcus Rashford's numbers

Speaking of Rashford, Sports Brief has reported that his incredible goalscoring record this season has been put into perspective with a Chelsea comparison.

The Manchester United attacker has been in sublime form post the World Cup, with the Englishman boasting 24 goals across competitions thus far this term.

The Man United academy graduate was in top shape on February 19, as he netted a brace to inspire his side to a 3-0 Premier League win over Leicester City.
