Gary Neville: Wayne Rooney should not have apologised for his night out

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney should not have apologised for his behaviour during the international break, his former teammate Gary Neville has said.

Rooney was photographed allegedly drinking late into the night at a wedding and issued an apology that said the images were "inappropriate for someone in his position."

The Football Association has said it will be conducting a "proper investigation" into reports that members of England's backroom staff had been with him.

No decision will be made on whether Rooney retains the national team captaincy until after a new permanent manager is appointed, a source has told ESPN FC.
