A 21-year-old model and her two friends have been identified as the women pictured with ex-England ace Wayne Rooney in viral photos.

Images of the Derby County manager seemingly asleep on a chair in a hotel room while the women posed with him have been widely shared on WhatsApp and social media.

Married Rooney, 35, is understood to have contacted Greater Manchester Police after the images were shared, reportedly concerned he had been "set up".

He partied with model Tayler Ryan and her friends Elise Melvin and Brooke Morgan, all 21, after reportedly inviting them to the VIP section at Chinawhite club in Manchester on Saturday night.

The former England striker was seen speaking to a scantily-clad blonde woman in the club.

Her back was to the camera in the picture, and it is not known if she was one of the trio of pals.

Later Rooney was seen in further photos asleep in a chair in a hotel room. It's believed Rooney nodded off and did not know the hotel snaps were being taken. He is seen sitting upright in a hotel room chair with his hands in his pockets.

There is no suggestion Rooney did anything untoward or behaved inappropriately and a friend of the girls told The Sun there was no sexual contact.

One picture shows him snoozing while a woman in her underwear lies on a hotel bed to his right, while another shows a woman standing over him in her underwear, with the image captioned "Mooney Rooney".

A friend said there was "no sexual contact" between any of the women and England's record goalscorer.

Tayler's mum Angela, 43, told The Sun : "They thought they were being funny but I've told them it was absolutely stupid.

"I feel awful for them but I'm also angry because they've been stupid."

Tayler is a model with 13,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 60,000 on TikTok as well as a YouTube fashion vlogger.

A modelling profile describes her as a "5'3 21yr old Female model with blue eyes, very long blonde hair and white skin".

It adds: "I am absolutely not interested in doing anything more than lingerie/ bikini I'm not comfortable with doing so or being asked to go beyond my limits thank you."

Angela said her daughter comes from a "good family" and said the girls were in tears as their photos took the internet by storm.

Brooke's mum Louise, 46, said her daughter was "mortified" after the pictures went viral.

A friend told the newspaper the women were celebrating a pal's birthday, and were "stunned" when Rooney and his mates invited them to their booth.

Rooney and two of his friends went to the girls' hotel for an after-party, the source claimed.

Tayler posted photos of herself with Rooney, covering her face with the word 'cute' using a filter.

The friend said: "They were all having fun dancing around with Wayne and his mates and posting about it on Snapchat but they couldn't stop laughing when he passed out."

When the football star was snoozing, they "decided to have some fun", the source said.

The friend said the trio "all love to party" but added that Saturday was "probably the wildest night of their lives".

Rooney was "very complimentary" of their appearance, the pal said, before adding that "nothing happened".

Elise has around 2,000 Instagram followers, and her profile contains a Bible verse which says: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

The former Manchester United striker apparently fell asleep upright with his chin on his chest and hands in his pockets.

Two wine glasses and several empty bottles can be seen underneath the chair.

In another pic - captioned "no words no papz" - he is gesticulating with his right hand while holding a glass of wine in his left.

A snap titled "Sleepy Wayne" features one of the women posing beside him with her tongue out while making the peace sign.

A video clip of another girl apparently breaking wind near the Derby County manager has also been viewed over 175,000 times.
