Roo & Ronaldo 'poison' targets

WAYNE Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo have been targeted in a SECOND Man United poison scare.

The stars were shocked to discover they had been sent suspect packages containing white powder days after manager Sir Alex Ferguson got one.

Police were immediately called in to investigate, and fire brigade experts rushed to United’s Carrington training complex.

The Sun revealed on Wednesday how Sir Alex was at the centre of a “poison” scare after an envelope containing mystery granules arrived at his office.

It contained a sinister note which read: “Why have you opened this? You will be dead within an hour.”

United’s training ground was sealed off by police as specially-trained officers took the package away for tests.

A secretary who opened the letter was kept in isolation for several hours before getting the all-clear.

Police later revealed the substance was harmless, but are now investigating two more packages addressed to England striker Rooney, 21, and Portuguese ace Ronaldo, 22.

A police spokesman said: “Further suspicious packages were discovered. At this stage it would appear all the packages have been sent by the same person.”

A club source said: “Whoever is behind this must be sick. He’s obviously trying to make out that the substance could do serious damage — and he needs catching quickly.

“Obviously, the staff at Carrington have been told to be more vigilant than ever. We just hope this is the last batch and that no one else gets sent one.”
