Coleen Rooney picks up a bottle of vodka as she calls into her village shop after trip to Ireland with husband Wayne and son Kai
The mother-of-four, 39, was spotted leaving a village store in leafy Cheshire - where the family own a sprawling new-build mansion - after picking up a bottle of Smirnoff vodka.
The brand's distinctive logo was visible through the plastic bag she carried while making her way back to her car.
Coleen looked relaxed in a plain white T-shirt and dark blue skinny jeans as she exited the shop with a white carrier bag in hand.
Keeping things casual, she slipped on a pair of nude flip-flops and accessorised simply with a wristwatch.
Her outing comes after she and her husband Wayne Rooney, 39, were every inch the supportive parents as they watched their son Kai play for Manchester United in the 2025 Super Cup NI.
The Rooney's travelled to Coleraine, Northern Ireland, to stand pitchside and watch Kai, 15, play in the youth football tournament, which kicked off last week.
The married couple also took their younger sons - Kit, eight, and Cass, six - to watch their older brother in action ahead of Man United's match against Co Tyrone.
Ahead of the game, Wayne and Coleen were pictured looking every inch the supportive parents as they smiled for the cameras alongside their younger sons.
Wayne, who also shares son Klay, 11, with Coleen, cut a casual figure in an all-black ensemble and flashed a huge smile as he stepped out to show his support for Kai.
Meanwhile, Coleen looked stylish in a pink T-shirt and jeans, which she styled with a burgundy jacket.
Kai took to the field when Man United played against Co Tyrone at the Riada Stadium at 7.30pm on Wednesday.
Earlier in the week, Kai secured a huge achievement as he nabbed a goal in a 3-0 win over West Cork Academy.
Wayne himself played in the Super Cup NI before shooting to stardom and shared some words of support for his son.
When asked if he gives Kai any tips, Wayne said he simply 'lets him play and watch' and praised his son for handling the added attention because of his surname 'well'.
Speaking to Super Cup NI, Wayne shared: 'He just plays, that's what he's done this whole time playing, I think it's very unfair for anyone to expect him to go and do all kinds, he's just playing as a young boy, he's 15, just playing and doing it.
'But of course he gets different attention to his teammates, but he handles that really well.'
Wayne played in the Super Cup - formerly the Milk Cup - himself in 2000 for Everton's Under-14 side and described the time as some of his 'greatest memories'.
The Super Cup is renowned for showcasing young and upcoming footballing talents.
Kai has been showing off his burgeoning football talent all season, and recently took part in a match against Glasgow Rangers in the Super Cup NI.
United beat Rangers 2-0 as they continue their trajectory towards the top of Group C of the Premier section. Both goals were scored by Abdoulaye Douka Nkoto.
Manchester United have been
One of the goals was scored by Kai, who has been making waves at the tournament as one of the younger players to watch for the future.

Transfer news live: Arsenal's Eze bid, Man Utd close on Sesko, Liverpool given boost for Isak move
Arsenal are preparing to bolster their forward line further by signing Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze. Palace want a fee in excess of £60m and the Gunners are on the verge of submitting an official. Benjamin Sesko wants to move to Manchester United despite RB Leipzig accepting an offer from Newcastle for the 22-year-old striker. The Premier League clubs are battling to sign a No.9 but the Old Trafford hierarchy are confident they can secure Sesko's signature despite a lack of Champions League football. Newcastle also have issues with Alexander Isak. The 25-year-old has been trying to force a move away from the club amid interest pursuit from Liverpool but the Magpies want a huge fee, having rejected Liverpool 's first bid of £110m. Elsewhere, Liverpool have agreed to sell Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal which should open up funds to purchase Isak if they are willing to match Newcastle's valuation and Ruben Dias is close to agreeing a new contract with Manchester City while Nicolas Jackson is set to leave Chelsea this summer. Good morning! Welcome to The Independent's transfer blog. We'll have all the latest comings and goings from the Premier League and more throughout the day. Mike Jones7 August 2025 07:26 Alexander Isak forced to train alone at Newcastle amid Liverpool transfer links Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was told he must train away from the Newcastle squad as uncertainty over his future continues. The 25-year-old Sweden international was told to report for training on Wednesday but only after the rest of the squad had left. Isak did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.

However, they are waiting to see if the striker will agree to leave Anfield after a three-season spell. Nunez also attracted interest from AC Milan but there were doubts if the Serie A side could meet Liverpool's asking price, whereas Al-Hilal are willing to pay a fee that could rise to £56.6m, including add-ons. More from senior football writer Richard Jolly: Darwin Nunez on verge of Liverpool exit as striker faces decision over future Darwin looks set to depart Anfield this summer after the arrival of young striker Hugo Ekitike and with the club chasing Newcastle's Alexander Isak Chris Wilson7 August 2025 06:30 Everton approach Man City about signing Jack Grealish on season-long loan deal Everton have approached Manchester City about the possibility of taking Jack Grealish on loan for the season. Grealish, 29, was stuck on the fringes of City's squad last season and his prospects look no brighter after a summer in which the talented 21-year-old French midfielder Rayan Cherki joined Pep Guardiola 's squad. Guardiola left Grealish out of his selection for the recent Club World Cup after coming to a mutual agreement with the winger that he needed a break.

Yet that is the building hype concerning 16-year-old forward Rio Ngumoha and the quality his possesses at such a young age. Then again, hype is one thing but performing on the pitch is another and in this arena Ngumoha is showing why football fans are getting excited about his future. On Monday 4 August, Liverpool played two pre-season games against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield. The games had different starting XIs with a mix of senior players and potential first team starters combining with fringe members of the squad in order to give Arne Slot a better feel for how his players are coping ahead of the start of the new season.

Quite a lot, it seems. Which, given the numbers involved, it really should. But the Anfield bows of five lavish arrivals offered an insight into Arne Slot 's remodelled Liverpool. The goals came from the old, with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo scoring to defeat Athletic Club 3-2, the intrigue from the new. Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike made Anfield bows, albeit in an unofficial outing and after each has featured further afield in preseason. Even as the £110m bid for Alexander Isak indicated Liverpool did not necessarily intend their business to stop with those five, it is half a team. Jurgen Klopp called the side he left Liverpool 2.0. Perhaps this is 2.0 for Slot's Liverpool, significantly different to the title-winning outfit.

Liverpool also have a 20 percent sell-on clause for Morton if the 22-year-old, who helped England win the European Under-21 Championships in June, continues to improve.

With a return to the Champions League, the Magpies need to strengthen their squad to compete at the highest level, but despite boss Eddie Howe making it known that he is looking to work fast this summer, Newcastle have missed out on several of their top targets so far. Benjamin Sesko is the latest high-profile target to opt against a move to St James Park, while key striker Alexander Isak remains linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool. Newcastle have been without any major recruits over the past two seasons due to PSR rules, and started the summer with a big move for Anthony Elanga – with the Nottingham Forest winger joining in a deal worth £55m – but have been thwarted in attempts to sign Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford since then too. And it means that there are a big three weeks ahead for the Magpies ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season and the transfer deadline on 1 September, with the club needing to strengthen in several key positions.

The four refereeing lessons from Lions series
During my international career, I was involved in two British and Irish Lions Series. In 2009, which was the first time that British and Irish referees were asked to referee Lions matches, and again in 2021 when the Lions returned to South Africa but without fans. Each of those tours brought new challenges to the match officials team – and the way in which we dealt with those challenges changed the direction of the game for the years that followed. In the lead up to the 2009 tour, World Rugby introduced a new tackle interpretation which was, in short, as long as you got your hands on the ball first, you could keep them on it even if a ruck eventually formed over you. Heinrich Brüssow, the Free State Cheetahs flanker, utilised the law to his advantage to such a degree that he was propelled into the Boks team for the first Test and was a real nuisance during the Springboks' victory. Us referees worked through the new interpretations in classrooms, practised during school matches and discussed how we would translate all of the theory onto the pitches of South Africa. It might not sound that difficult, but it took some getting your head around, and after the Lion series we lead the way in which the game would be refereed. It led to a more defence-orientated game, with coaches regularly saying that having the ball was a liability. The 2021 trip saw one of the most surreal incidents in rugby history. Rassie Erasmus's online rant when he publicly reviewed the performance of the match officials of the first Lions Test, not only earned him a two-month ban from rugby, but it also changed the way in which referees and coaches interacted before and after Test matches. The pre- and post-match discussions between a coach and a referee had more formality and guidelines put in place around them, and the 2021 Lions match officials set the standard for how those unique and fundamentally important meetings would work moving forward. Those guidelines remain in place today. Since the final whistle in Sydney, I have wondered what lasting principles Ben O'Keeffe, Andrea Piardi and Nika Amashukeli, the three referees for the Lions series, will have set during their six-week stint in Australia and what that will mean for the game moving forward. Not all head contact is foul play I chuckled to myself watching the third Test. In the 13th minute, Tommy Freeman received the ball from Tom Curry only five metres out from the Wallabies try-line. Freeman tucked the ball under his arm and headed for the corner, running an aggressive arcing line hoping to level the scores. As he did, he was smashed backwards by the aggressive Australian winger, Dylan Pietsch. Pietsch had cut in from his own wing, to make a fantastic tackle, one which knocked Freeman back towards the centre of the field. It also caused Freeman to drop towards the floor and as he did, Len Ikitau hit him in the head. All week I had followed the Australian media regurgitating the law about how it was always illegal to make contact above the line of the shoulders – but Ikitau's tackle wasn't foul play. What else could he do? What else could Jac Morgan do the week before in his clear-out? Sometime these things happen. We want the game as safe as possible – that's why World Rugby should be applauded for the investment they are making in the science and research around player welfare – but the game will have accidental collisions, and I hope the sensible officiating that we saw during the Lions series will continue. Working out when TMO should get involved I was delighted that Marius Jonker, one of the world's most experienced match officials, didn't get involved in the Freeman incident. I like that he trusted his own judgement and let the game continue. It was why I was surprised that he intervened when Nic White and Finn Russell collided in the 58 th minute. There was no appeal, and no injury to anyone, yet the game was stopped for 30-odd seconds so Amashukeli could rule upon whether White tackled the Lions fly-half without the ball. Amashukeli rightly ruled there was nothing to see. One for me to discuss with Marius over a beer I think. At the end of the AUNZ Invitational match in Adelaide, Shannon Frizell was sin-binned following a clear-out on Morgan. There was no appeal, no injury, and watching it live, I didn't know what anyone had done wrong. Frizell was given a yellow card for a dangerous clear-out which looked like hundreds of other clear-outs I've seen during my career, but the TMO thought it was right to get involved. If no-one else notices an incident, a TMO shouldn't go looking for it. A TMO should be there to just get the stuff that matters. When a player is taken off with an injury – a TMO should ask why? When a deliberate offence is replayed in the stadium – and everyone else can see it - a TMO should tell the referee what they've missed. I know O'Keeffe was leading the way in ensuring that TMOs only came in when it was essential – and on the whole I thought this group of match officials got it about right – but I hope we continue to see fewer interventions by the TMO moving forward, which will mean fewer stoppages in our game. Be careful what you say After France vs South Africa in Marseille in November 2022, Springboks coach Erasmus started posting videos on social media of decisions he thought I'd got wrong. With the World Cup-winning coach reviewing my decisions on social media others thought they were entitled to join in. The attitude seemed to be, 'If he can do it, why can't I?' And because social media provides a cloak of anonymity, the criticism soon turned into ugly abuse of me and my family. Joe Schimdt announced that he was giving Carlo Tizzano a week off after what he described was a 'tough week' for the Australian replacement who was accused of diving in the final moments of the second Test. 'He's had a really tough week Carlo,' Schmidt said. 'He's copped a lot of online abuse.' I know that the match officials 'copped a lot' too – and a great deal of that will because of the post-match comments by the Aussie coach. When someone so respected in the game, in a position of such responsibility, comes out and criticises the referee – what do we expect will happen? Coaches and players have to realise their actions have consequences. I was delighted that the CEO of World Rugby, Alan Gilpin, came out and said: 'We've got to back our referees and our match officials and with the Women's Rugby World Cup around the corner, World Rugby has said it will support the mental wellbeing of players and match officials by tackling online abuse and fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all participants. Everyone has a role to play.' Online abuse isn't just a rugby issue, of course. But I don't see why we can't lead the way in tackling it by controlling what we can control as a sport. Referees will never be perfect As fans, we have to accept the game isn't perfect. Players drop the ball at crucial moments. Remember the knock on by Tom Lynagh with the Aussies leading 23-5 in the crucial second Test and the resulting scrum that led to Tom Curry dancing over in the corner to stop the Aussie momentum. Remember some of the wrongly timed substitutions by the coaches we have seen over the past 12 months? And yes, the referees have made mistakes too. But rather than marking a referee on how many mistakes they have made, look at some statistics that can show where a referee has added value to a game. How long did a video review take – nothing worse than watching endless replays. How long was the ball in play – nothing gets people reaching for the TV remote more than another stoppage in play. Get the referees thinking about adding to the momentum of a game, rather than attempting to get every decision right. If they get that right, it will help the game no-end. I am looking forward to August 22 when the Red Roses take on the USA at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, not just to see the opening game of the Rugby World Cup, but to see what the 10 referees who have been selected will also have learnt from an eventful 2025 Lions Series.
