His face when Rooney walked in.

Manchester United fan James King’s dream came through this week when he got a chance to meet his idol Wayne Rooney.

James, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, missed a chance to go to a game at Old Trafford last week because he had to look after his sick mother.

The club wanted to make it up to the 15-year-old by inviting him along to their Aon Training Complex for a presentation and a chat about the Manchester United Foundation.

What he didn’t know was that he was also going to meet Rooney, his reaction when the striker walked in is amazing,
