Manchester United stars attend Chris Smalling wedding in Italy as defender marries Sam Cooke at Lake Como in idylic ceremony

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney was joined by Phil Jones, Luke Shaw and Danny Welbeck as they attended the wedding of Chris Smalling and Sam Cooke in Northern Italy this week.

The defender was married at an idylic ceremony at sun-soaked Lake Como after getting engaged to the model in Bali last year.

Rooney, former United forward Welbeck, now with Arsenal, Shaw and Jones looked sharp in their suits and shades for the summer wedding having enjoyed drinks at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.
