Rooney's a smooth operator on and off the pitch thanks to a chest wax

The 21-year-old has obviously put himself - and his now hairless chest - in the hands of a beautician for a wax treatment.

Before and after: Rooney loses the hair for a smooth look

Rooney has played for victors Manchester United since 2004, scoring a hat-trick on his debut.

Yesterday under the new arch at Wembley he put away the third penalty for a win after the team were drawn against Chelsea at the end of full time.

Earlier he had been booked for a reckless challenge on goalkeeper Petr Cech.

But any less-than-sporting gestures were quickly forgotten when Rooney celebrated adding to the penalty scoreline which earned his team another piece of silverware for the trophy cabinet.

The WAGs are often behind the trends sported by their trophy partners so perhaps fiancee Coleen McLoughlin demanded a smooth touch.

The look is also supposed to "enhance" muscle definition.

The England striker has certainly timed his sleek new look perfectly with the arrival of summer and long, hot, topless days next to the pool.
