Unseen pics of Wayne Rooney sleeping after party emerge as police drop blackmail probe

New photos of Wayne Rooney's wild night out with three young women have emerged.

The former football star is seen with his eyes closed, apparently asleep, in the hotel room with two of the 21-year-old women in shot.

The 35-year-old England great is slumped fully clothed on a chair.

It followed boozy night out in Manchester after he met Tayler Ryan, Elise Melvin and Brooke Morgan at trendy Chinawhite club in Manchester.

In one, he was photographed next to one of them woman, revealing her thong just inches from his face as he slept.

Trainee accountant Elise poses next to the ex-Three Lions captain in a £60-a-night hotel room on Sunday morning, making a peace sign to the camera. The caption reads ‘Sleepy Wayne’.

A source said it is "50-50" that Rooney would remain as the Derby County manager.

The star is reportedly 'surprised' police have dropped their blackmail probe into pictures of him in the budget hotel room.

The footballer claimed he feared being blackmailed over the pictures of him snoozing.

Police have decided to drop their investigation into the incident.

A source told the Daily Mail : “He spent a good hour talking to police officers and it has come out of the blue that they have decided to end the inquiry so quickly.

“It is quite wrong to suggest that he wanted this to happen."

It is alleged Rooney was asked for £10,000 to keep photos of himself asleep in a hotel bedroom hidden from wife Coleen.

The football star's lawyers contacted police after he was photographed in hotel with the group.

Police opened a blackmail probe, reportedly over an Instagram message which included one photo and a caption saying 'Morning Wayne 10 grand please mate of Coleen sees this.'

However a spokesman for Cheshire Police has now confirmed officers are satisfied no offences took place.

He said: "On Monday 26 July Cheshire Constabulary received reports of a possible blackmail relating to a number of images circulating online.

"Officers have spoken to the person involved and are satisfied that no offences have taken place.

The photos were taken on Saturday night in Manchester (Twitter)

"The person involved has also stated that they do not wish to take the matter any further."

The footballer had claimed he feared being blackmailed over the pictures of him asleep in the hotel room.

The ex-England striker was pictured asleep and fully clothed while sitting upright on a bedroom chair in the early hours of Sunday morning.

There's no suggestion the three women in the pictures were involved in the alleged plot.
