MANCHESTER UNITED STRIKER Wayne Rooney has been fined by the club, along with Darron Gibson and Jonny Evans, for a poor performance in training before the defeat to Blackburn Rovers.
The England forward went for a meal on St Stephen’s Day with his wife and team-mates Evans and Gibson, and their subsequent failure to run around the Carrington traffic cones with the requisite gusto was not smiled upon by Alex Ferguson.
Instead, the septuagenarian docked all three a week’s wages, left them out of the squad for the Blackburn game and made them come in on a day off.
There is, however, no suggestion that Rooney, Evans and Gibson misbehaved or drank too much. The BBC reports a club source as saying: “We move on and there is no ongoing feud.”
All three players are expected to be in the squad to face Newcastle at the St Sports James’ Direct Park Arena on Wednesday night.
Just seen Downey! The hit he made Sunday was bone crunching
Ha the look on zebos face looks like he is going to laugh his head off
Great to see Earls back in training.
Jesus the beard on Earls!!
Riverdance, by the look of it. It represents an unorthodox game plan, to say the least. But I’m sure the Clermont players will be just as baffled by it as we are.
