A hair transplant surgeon has urged Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to have another procedure on his thinning hair.

The England international is thought to have spent £15,000 on a hair transplant two years ago, but recent photos have suggested that the 27-year-old could be losing his crop once again.

"It's very clear from the pictures that Wayne has kept hold of the hair from his first transplant at the front of his head," the Daily Mail quotes Dr Asim Shahmalak from the Crown Clinic in Manchester as saying.

"But he has continued to lose his hair further back on his head and on his crown. It has given him two noticeable bald patches. The best way to remedy this is with a second hair transplant."

Meanwhile, Rooney has welcomed a second child into his family following the birth of his son Klay.
