Rooney Dropped For Newcastle Game!

Wayne Rooney has been dropped by Sir Alex Ferguson for today's game against Newcastle United. Rooney who told SkySports that he had a bad game against Swansea and understood why he was subbed off had expected to be able to prove himself today against Newcastle. Instead Fergie didn't even name him in the squad. Rooney told Sky Sports;

"I could feel it was not going to be my day on the pitch at Swansea. Some days you have an off day I could feel that and I couldn't complain at being substituted.

I think the thing about football, and especially over the Christmas period, is that you have games and this game has gone for me and it is certainly not one I will remember, but I will relish the next one.

The position we are in at the minute, it is a great opportunity to make that gap at the top of the table even bigger.

We are still in a good position with two home games coming up.

We need to make sure we take maximum points from them. We know it's early days and there is a long way to go, but we are in a healthy position at the moment so we need to try and keep on."
