Manchester United legend Gary Neville insists off-field matters did not spark Wayne Rooney's Montenegro madness.
Neville wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday: "I know how Wayne’s mind works. He’ll be angry with himself. I could see it in his eyes. He was thinking: ‘I’ve been here before; I can’t believe I’ve just done that.’
"People will say he has problems with this or that, but that’s rubbish and a lazy conclusion. There’s no way he could have played like he did in the first half if he were not focused. These incidents usually stem from the fact that he’s got such incredible expectations.
"He’s playing for England, supposedly one of the superior nations, against Montenegro, a country of 625,000 people, and in the second half they were getting on top of us, so he became isolated up front. Wayne would have been incredibly frustrated by that. He has that streak in him, has done for 10 years and you’ll never take it away from him."
