Jose Mourinho takes aim at FA after furore over Wayne Rooney antics

Jose Mourinho believes the Football Association should have looked after Wayne Rooney better, with the Manchester United manager suggesting his captain’s late-night antics were tamer than some other England players.

Not for the first time in his career, the 31-year-old’s lifestyle has come under scrutiny after his starting role in the World Cup qualifying win against Scotland was followed by injury and controversy.

Rooney missed Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Spain due to a minor knee complaint and has dominated the headlines since then, with The Sun printing images showing the England skipper, wearing a training top, looking the worse for wear.
