Wayne Rooneys actions over the weekend have been defended by his former Manchester United team-mate Darren Fletcher, who also believes the striker still has a big future at Old Trafford.England captain Rooney apologised to interim England boss Gareth Southgate and FA technical director Dan Ashworth after images emerged of him which were inappropriate for someone in his position.The images were published in The Sun after Rooney socialised into the early hours of Sunday morning at a wedding party at the England teams hotel in the wake of the 3-0 win over Scotland last Friday. However, Fletcher, who captained Scotland at Wembley, claims Rooney had every right to be celebrating Englands victory over their old rivals and is paying the price for his readiness to mingle with the public. If we had won on Friday, the Scotland players would have celebrated. People think it means more to Scotland but thats not true, which is why they celebrated, and rightly so, said the West Brom midfielder. Fletcher says Scotland would have celebrated if they had won People talk about players being detached from reality, not mingling with fans, and not doing things that players used to do in the past.I think this is an example of why players are scared to do that because you give a little bit of time, give a few pictures, and then youre plastered all over the newspapers. All that is going to do is scare even more players from socialising in public places, because the scrutiny is so much.Everyone has got a phone and social media plays such a big part in the game today, that players dont feel comfortable in these environments, and situations like what happened on Saturday night are going to escalate that.
