UNITED star Wayne Rooney revealed his damaged ear for the first time when he joined team-mates at Manchester airport.
The striker, 23, had kept his left ear covered with a baseball cap in public since slipping on a luxury yacht in the French Riviera last month.
Rooney needed a local anaesthetic and multiple stitches for the injury.
But the ear was on show when he arrived for the team's flight to Malaysia for a tour of Asia.
About 50,000 fans are expected to watch United play their first game against Malaysia on Saturday. The tour will also take in Indonesia, Korea and China.

And if that is multiple stitches then a multiple of what? 2 maybe?
When are the MEN going to report something remotely critical about their favourite football team?
