LONDON: Wayne Rooney has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after the 31-year-old ex-England captain was stopped by police near his Cheshire home.

Rooney re-joined boyhood club Everton in the pre-season from Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Last week Rooney, England’s all-time record goal-scorer, announced his retirement from international football, having scored 53 goals in 119 appearances for his country.

Rooney scored in his first two Premier League games of the 2017-18 campaign for his new/old club, in a 1-0 win over Stoke City and in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
