'Wayne Rooney, the England striker, is being investigated by police, amid allegations he assaulted a fan (shyeah right) in a nightclub. Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation after a 22-year-old man made a complaint of assault against the Manchester United footballer.
The allegations have been denied by Rooney's spokesman who insisted the footballer was taunted but did not respond.
The incident allegedly took place during a late night outing yesterday to Tiger Tiger bar in Manchester's Prinworks, along with his teammates Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Roy Carroll.
It is claimed that the man screamed at the player, calling him "treacherous" and shouted "once a blue, always a blue".'
"Wayne was approached by a man he had never met in a menacing and threatening manner," said Rooney's spokesman. "At no stage did Wayne respond. The man was immediately asked to leave the nightclub in the company of security guards."
