Wayne Rooney will not play for Manchester United versus Everton on Saturday because manager Alex Ferguson believes Rooney may be targeted by fans for his alleged sex scandal.

Rooney has been subjected to allegations from a prostitute that he had cheated on his wife last year.

Is this the real reason why Rooney won’t appear?  Rooney left rival Everton 6 years ago not on good terms.  Maybe Ferguson won’t disclose the real reasons he chose to sit Rooney.
