Dropped for dinner with wife
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson dropped Wayne Rooney from his squad for Saturday's defeat to Blackburn after the striker was discovered to have enjoyed a night out on Boxing Day.
Rooney visited a restaurant in the city with wife Coleen and teammates Jonny Evans and Darron Gibson. During the following day's training sessions, Sir Alex is understood to have overheard conversations about the dinner, leading to a furious exchange with the players. He then axed Rooney and Gibson from his squad for the Rovers clash, which United went on to lose 3-2.
