The official account claimed the Manchester United striker was "last seen in the Trafford area wearing a red shirt", as the captain extended his goalless run to 325 minutes against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Rooney offered little in the way of a goal threat and looked sluggish at key times as Louis van Gaal's side drew 0-0 for the third time in six days... and the nearby constabulary made sure the striker knew it.
