Wayne Rooney hits back at the media once more as Manchester United striker claims he didn't attend the wedding which caused drinking furore

Manchester United and England forward Wayne Rooney has claimed he didn't attend the wedding which subsequently saw him at the centre of a 6am drinking scandal.

Rooney's celebrations following England's 3-0 win over Scotland saw the striker, wearing a team tracksuit, invited to a wedding which was being held at the team's Grove hotel base in Watford.

But despite a number of pictures showing Rooney alongside the wedding guests, the 31-year-old told BT Sport after United's 4-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord that he never joined the bride and groom's celebrations.

'I actually didn’t even step foot into the wedding and I think it’s a shame that I’m having to talk about it now after such a great victory,' Rooney said.
