Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has refused to comment on Wayne Rooney's party antics last week.
Rooney delivered a flat performance for his playing return in Dublin last night.
"He's had only six days and it's not enough," Ferguson sympathised. "I will have to play him against Chelsea [in the Community Shield on Sunday] to bring him on for the Newcastle game [United's first Premier League match]." Asked about the recent photographs of Rooney smoking a cigarette and urinating in the street, he delivered his stock phrase - "I'm not getting into that".
