Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney donated £100,000 to help victims of the Manchester bombing through his charity The Wayne Rooney Foundation.
In a statement on the charity’s page he said: “There are moments in life that instantly affect you and stop you in your tracks. Monday night was one of those occasions.
“Like so many others, I have enjoyed great nights at the arena, often with my family. “As a father, I am horrified that a night out for so many young people could end so tragically. My heart goes out all those affected. Please give whatever you can.”
Twenty-two people were killed and 59 injured when terrorist Salman Abedi detonated a bomb as thousands of children and parents left the Manchester Arena on Monday night.
