Rooney denies nightclub assault allegation

Police are investigating claims that England striker Wayne Rooney assaulted a taunting fan in a nightclub brawl, it was confirmed on Tuesday night.

Greater Manchester Police said they are to launch inquiries after a 22-year-old man made a formal complaint of assault against the £28 million Manchester United star. It is alleged that the 19-year-old hit a 22-year-old student at Tiger Tiger bar, in Manchester's city centre, when the man confronted him about his controversial move from Everton last year.

The star's manager has denied the claims and said Rooney did not respond to the taunts. A spokesman for Rooney said: "Wayne was approached by a man he had never met in a menacing and threatening manner. At no stage did Wayne respond. The man was immediately asked to leave the nightclub in the company of security guards."

Rooney had been in the bar with team-mates Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Roy Carroll when the confrontation took place at around 1am.

It is claimed that the man screamed at the player, calling him "treacherous" and shouted "once a blue, always a blue", in reference to his former Everton career.
