Wayne Rooney was back in Manchester United training yesterday.
It is understood that Ferguson fined Rooney and midfielder Darron Gibson, before forcing the pair to train on their day off last week after the pair enjoyed an evening out on Boxing Day.
Neither the club nor the player's representative wished to elaborate on the matter, nor even to confirm Rooney was axed from Saturday's 3-2 shock defeat to Blackburn as part of his punishment.
