SNAPPED! Arsenal and Chelsea target Rooney nets for United...then goes on boys' night out
WAYNE ROONEY faces a backlash from bitter England fans after being pictured on a lads' night out just days after missing his country's crunch double-header.
The Manchester United striker joined friends including Everton ace Darron Gibson at the trendy Manchester House VIP bar, where he partied until 1.20am this morning.
Rooney had earlier been handed a shock start by David Moyes to face Crystal Palace, after recovering from the head injury which forced him out of England action.
The hitman, wearing a protective headband to cover his scar, netted the second United goal in a 2-0 win.
But the photos of the star striker out on the town will enrage supporters - and Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson.
England picked up four points from a possible six against Moldova and Ukraine as their World Cup qualification hopes remain in the balance.
