Rooney involved in a sex scandal to miss a match with "Everton" © EuroFootball.com

Wayne Rooney, who has not avoided personal life scandals, was not included in the lineup for Manchester United's match against Everton on Saturday in the English Championship.

A few days ago, information was released in the media that the Englishman regularly had sexual relations with a prostitute while his wife Coleen was expecting their second child.

Fearing that Rooney could become a target for fans, manager Sir Alex Ferguson decided to withdraw his services: "We made a simple decision because Wayne is being insulted, and we are not going to allow that. We have a great team, so we will use that. Rooney will play against Rangers on Tuesday."
