He wasn’t lovin’ it. English soccer player Wayne Rooney was not impressed when workers at a McDonald’s snapped of selfie of the athlete at a Drive-thru in Cheshire, England Thursday. The Manchester United star was with his 7-year-old son, Kai.

The snap was taken by McDonald’s worker Fred Reardon, who promptly posted to Facebook. While the Daily Mail credited the shot to Reardon, International Business Times was unable to locate Reardon’s Instagram page. He might have taken it down after the photo went viral.

When the photo was shot, Reardon and his unnamed co-worker smiled brightly. Rooney, on the other hand, looked perturbed.
Twitter users quickly helped the photo go viral Friday. One of the most popular tweets was from the fan account with the handle @ManUtd_HQ, who claims to be “Everything Manchester United [18+] not associated with @ManUtd ‘Don't own video content posted.’”
The tweet was liked more than 100 times by their 23,000 followers. “McDonald’s staff take a selfie with Rooney....But Rooney doesn't look one bit amused #mufc,” the message read.
Rooney’s name was one of the top-trending Twitter topics Friday. Some of the posts associated with his trip to McDonald’s have been posted below:

He looks bemused, probably saying what the f*ck.

One of the reasons he might not have been happy about being caught at McDonald’s is that Twitter trolls accused him of being “fat” earlier in the month.
Losing all respect for Wayne Rooney if he's not willing to leave Man Utd and take a pay cut. Here to grab those 300k and get more fat.

Wayne Rooney has had a great Manchester Utd career, one of the very best, and if he leaves I can't wait to boo the big fat bastard next year

The main thing Twitter users discussed, however, was that Rooney was like bothered because his son was in the car when the photo was taken — and probably without permission.

Rooney regularly shares photos with his three children and wife on Instagram. “Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to,” he famously once said. He is also the father to sons Klay and Kit.

For Father’s Day, he posted multiple pictures with his children and wrote, “Lads day out,” in one of them. The snap was liked nearly 250,000 times by his 10.6 million followers.
He also posts pictures of himself with wife Coleen. “Nice meal last night to start @coleen_rooney birthday celebrations,” he wrote in April.
