Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says reaction to his
late-night conduct on England duty has been “disgraceful” and has vowed
he is “not finished yet”.
The England captain apologised over “inappropriate” pictures of him at a wedding at the England team hotel during the international break.
Rooney said his treatment showed “a lack of respect”.
“It feels as if the media are trying to write my obituary and I won’t let that happen,” he added.
Speaking after he came off the bench for Manchester United in their
draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Saturday, the 31-year-old claimed:
“What’s been going on is disgraceful.
“I love playing for my country and I am proud of my achievements to date – but I have not finished yet.”
The Sun published images on Monday which it said showed
Rooney drunk at a party late on Saturday night – a day after England’s
World Cup qualifying win over Scotland.
England players are to be banned by the Football Association from having nights out while on international duty.
The FA is looking into claims several players were out until late on
the same night Saturday night – less than three days before they drew
2-2 with Spain in a friendly.
