ALEX Ferguson believes Wayne Rooney has been a troubled soul.

Manchester United boss Fergie is giving Rooney a rest after the player threatened to quit the club.

Rooney has gone from Player of the Year, to a flop for England and United and a figure of shame for his reported dalliance with a prostitute.

And Ferguson said: "I don't know the reason for his loss of form because it started in the World Cup.

"Whether some clubs have been filling his head in that period to affect him we don't know.

"The important thing is for us to put it behind us. But certainly something has been troubling him."
