Wayne Rooney Left Out

Wayne Rooney

Sir Alex Fer­guson has left Wayne Rooney, who has scored just once in the league this cam­paign, out for the Cham­pi­ons League game against Valen­cia on Wed­nes­day. Strug­gling un­der in­tense me­dia pres­sure fol­low­ing ex­plos­ive rev­el­a­tions about his private life, he gave a me­diocre per­form­ance against Bolton Wan­der­ers last Sunday and was re­placed by Fe­d­erico Macheda in the 61st minute of the game after re­ceiv­ing a knock to his left ankle.

Kevin Kee­gan: “Wayne Rooney´s per­form­ance against Bolton Wan­der­ers on Sunday tells me his con­fid­ence is shot. It’s just one tap and I know from when I played that if you are ad­vert­ising boots and all these things, you have to go and make ap­pear­ances. You are go­ing to ap­pear in the pa­per. But the one thing I would like to say is keep your home and your fam­ily out of it and just take your en­dorse­ments if that’s what you want to do.
