Rooney will be fined two weeks wages - around £320,000 - if found guilty of drink-driving in court later this month.
And the former England captain has been told to give up his drinking habits if he wants to have a future at the club.

Rooney met Simpson on a night out and was allegedly driving her home from a night club.
