David Moyes on Wayne Rooney: No one is bigger than United
DAVID Moyes has cast doubt over Sir Alex Ferguson’s claims he did not want to subject Wayne Rooney to “terrible abuse” at Everton and believes Manchester United may have wanted to make an example of the errant striker.
Rooney missed the 3-3 draw at his former club on Saturday with Ferguson suggesting he had spared him a hostile reception in the wake of the allegations over his private life.
But Moyes said: “Maybe Sir Alex was making sure everybody realises that if you play for Manchester United you have to conduct yourself in a manner and the football club doesn’t really care who you are.”
