Ed Sheeran and Wayne Rooney had the singer's fans entertained when the pair struck up an impromptu duet in a Manchester pub.
An amusing video that has emerged online shows the star footballer, 29, attempting to sing one of Ed's classics, Lego House.

Regardless of Wayne's failed attempt, the Manchester United captain seems to have had a whale of a time hanging out with his 23-year-old singing idol. The striker had just attended Ed's sell-out tour in the northern city when he rocked up to the pub for the small after-party. "Brilliant time at Ed Sheeran concert last night. Thanks for a great night mate!" the footballer captioned a photo of the pair on Twitter and Instagram. Wayne's wife Coleen also took to the micro-blogging site to congratulate the hitmaker on his musical success. "Congratulations on your Number 1@edsheeran ..... Fantastic!!" she posted after hearing that his track Thinking Out Loud had topped the UK Official Singles Chart.

Last month, Ed's latest album X was reported as the best-selling album of 2014 so far. Speaking at the same time, Ed revealed the inspiration behind his Thinking Out Loud music video, which sees the red-haired singer taking over a ballroom dancefloor. "My original concept was to have a couple walk in and do some made ballroom dancing," he said. "At first I was going to get two talented dancers but as was the idea was formed, I thought hmm maybe I should have a crack at this. If rugby players can do it on Strictly Come Dancing then maybe I can too." West Yorkshire-born Ed added: "Dancing can be the most fun thing in the world but in the lead-up to finishing this video, I was so frustrated. I have never wanted to quit something so much. At some points, I felt like saying to the choreographers 'You do this, I'm going to stand in the background.'"
