He’s looking ahead to his third World Cup finals with England following a Premier League season marred by poor results and the subsequent sacking of manager David Moyes.
Stepping out on Wednesday, Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney took his mind off his footballing troubles by catching up with fans in his native Liverpool.
But while the good-natured 28-year-old posed for photos he betrayed a rather large bald spot on his crown – a worrying sign that his receding hair may well be in need of another transplant.
Somewhat ironically Wayne was paying a visit to a local barber shop, where he spent the better part of an hour getting a trim before posing for some fun snaps out on the pavement.
The England striker, who started balding when he was in his early twenties, has previously spent thousands of pounds from his prodigious football earnings on transplants in a desperate bid to thicken his thinning hair.
In 2011 splashed out £30,000 on extensive hair transplant surgery, but while many would chose to keep such treatments under wraps, a delighted Wayne opted to share the impressive results with followers on Twitter.

At the time he posted a shot of a radically improved hair-line to the one that graced his head during the previous 2010-11 season.
An accompanying tweet read: ‘Hi all there’s my head. It will take a few months to grown. Still a bit bloody too. But that’s all normal. #hairwego.’
The striker had previously opened up about his surgery in a confessional tweet earlier that year.

He wrote: ‘Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not. I’m delighted with the result. It’s still a bit bruised and swollen when it dies down u will be first to see it.'
With a jokey flourish he added: ‘Anyone recommend any good hair gel. Haha. I had it done in Harley street hair clinic London. Thanks to all the staff who looked after me.’
The striker underwent another hair transplant in the same clinic in 2013 for a further nine hours of surgery.
Speaking to the Mirror, hair transplant surgeon Asim Shahmalak said his second op had been carried out to cover fresh bald patches.
He said: ‘Wayne has kept hold of the hair from his first transplant at the front of his head. But he has continued to lose his hair further back on his head and his crown. It has given him two noticeable bald patches.
‘The only way to remedy this was with a second hair transplant.’
