Steve McClaren has recalled his own time at Manchester United as proof there is no point even trying to tame Wayne Rooney.
The England forward discovered on Thursday morning that he must serve a two-match domestic suspension following his four-letter outburst at West Ham on Saturday.
It means Rooney will miss Saturday's Premier League encounter with Fulham at Old Trafford, plus the following weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on April 16.
Rooney wasn't thinking well and then you get problems...
because Rooney is simply lame!
