Arsenal boss Wenger defends Man Utd ace Rooney over nightclub antics

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has defended Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.

Wenger says the criticism of Rooney for last week's nightclub antics are way over the top.

"We have created a monster," Wenger told the Observer.

"Rooney, today, cannot walk out there and do anything. Even if he needs to pee on the golf course. That is not normal any more. What is important about Wayne Rooney is that his attitude when he plays is 100% right. When he goes with Man United to West Bromwich Albion, he gives absolutely everything to win the game.

"So, he wants a little enjoyment, but what do you want? They're not monks. They have to behave properly but you have to understand that they are under a level of pressure which is higher than ever."
