Wayne Rooney’s old Aston Martin Vanquish S is back for sale on Auto Trader.

And you can get your hands on the Manchester United star’s supercar for nearly £60,000 less than when it was on the market last year.

The England striker was the first owner of the 6-litre V12 Vanquish S which he bought in 2006 as a 20-year-old hotshot.

But as an international star with bags of cash and a penchant for fast cars, Rooney couldn’t keep the same ride for too long – Rio and Ronaldo might laugh at him.

So Rooney got rid of the Vanquish S last year with the second owner winning the British supercar in a competition organised by one of the footballer’s sponsors.

They then advertised it on Auto Trader in March last year for £150,000. But it’s now up for sale with a different dealer minus its personalised plate for £92,975 - a 38 per cent price cut.

For the money you’ll get a 520bhp work of automotive art which accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds before maxing out at 200mph.

Rooney, whose wealth is estimated by The Sunday Times to be £30 million, has had some brilliant cars during his young, action-packed life.

The striker and his wife Coleen have owned a Bentley Continental GTC, Bentley Continental, Range Rover, Mercedes G55 AMG, Mercedes CL63, Mercedes CLK DTM and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

Now you can get your hands on Rooney’s old Aston Martin Vanquish S, which has covered just 6,000 miles, for £92,975.
