The Everton striker, 31, was stopped in a black Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on 1 September.

The footballer was on a night out while his wife and their three sons were on holiday.

He was released on bail after being charged with "driving whilst over the prescribed limit".

The Liverpool-born player, whose wife Coleen is pregnant with their fourth child, retired from international football in August having captained the English team since 2014.

Rooney, of Collar House Drive, Prestbury, is England's all-time top scorer with 53 goals.

He rejoined boyhood club Everton this summer after 13 years at Manchester United.
